A British Falklands War hero was shot dead while protecting his partner during an armed raid on their farm in South Africa. Despite the efforts of paramedics who rushed to the home, which is 30 miles north of Johannesburg, nothing could be done and Mr Stobbs was declared dead. Head of Community Safety at AfriForum civil rights group Ian Cameron confirmed Mr Stobbs had been shot dead during a robbery at their farm in Lanseria. The attack on Mr Stobbs marked the first of three farm deaths to take place in South Africa this weekend. Mr Stobbs served two tours of duty in the Falklands in 1982 and 1983, and as the aircraft traffic controller on board HMS Penelope.
