Eleven die in 'cattle rustling' attack in South Africa

Police in South Africa say eleven people have been killed in an attack in the Eastern Cape, near the border with Lesotho.

A spokesman said the bodies had been found over the weekend, after they had been shot or hacked to death on New Year's Day.

Police say the killings may have been related to cattle rustling.
