The son of Alfred Helge Hansen, 82, and Gaye Carole Hansen, 81, went searching for his parents in the paddock of their Anzac Valley Rd hobby farm after he couldn’t find them inside their home on Thursday morning

He found his mother and her husband dead and was then confronted by the ram, nephew Dean Burrell told Stuff.

“He himself was attacked by this ram from behind. He managed to get it into a headlock and closed the gate and went back to his mum.

“The ram busted through the electric fence and attacked them again so he called the cops.”

Police confirmed on Thursday that a “ram was in the paddock at the time we were notified of the deaths at 7.30am”.

“Another party at the scene suffered a minor injury after being attacked by this ram,” police said.

“Once our staff arrived at the scene they, too, were confronted and approached by the ram. On undertaking a risk assessment, the ram was shot and died at the scene.”
