Farmer Terry Ford

She was involved in the forcible seizure of farms owned by white Zimbabweans in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Including the death of 55-year-old white Zimbabwean farmer Terry Ford, who was murdered by a mob that she unleashed because they wanted to usurp his house. Ford was beaten and then shot in the head on his farm west of Harare. Sabina Mugabe had previously asked him in November 2000 to hand over his farm to her "so that she could move in". The fact that Mr. Ford's old Jack Russell Terrier, Squeak, refused to leave his master's body made international headlines.
