Is there some distinction of farm murders and murders on a farm

Melanin or lack thereof is normally the distinction some use to differentiate them.

Wonder if it’s tribal squabbles, or maybe stock thieves, they have a reputation for doing some really brutal mass murders in retribution. Kestell is close to the Lesotho border.

Melatonin is a natural product found in plants and animals. It is primarily known in animals as a hormone released by the pineal gland in the brain at night, and has long been associated with control of the sleep–wake cycle.

I think you mean something else.

Because the value of a human life in South Africa is worth less than a cheap cell phone.
Going through the trouble of murdering 7 people just for theft does not add up, no matter how you look at it.
