Two men arrested after South African worker is 'pelted to death with oranges' Police in Limpopo province await details of autopsy after body is found with no visible injury The Guardian, Thursday 21 August 2014 10.11 EDT
Two men in rural South Africa are suspected of killing a farmworker by throwing oranges at him.
Citing witness accounts, police lieutenant-colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said the suspects had allegedly argued with the man, then collected oranges and begun hurling them at him.
"They started pelting the deceased with all those loose oranges, killing him on the spot," Ngoepe said. However, he cautioned that an investigation was still under way and aspects of a case he described as complicated still had to be verified.
