Carl August Daniel Heese (24 February 1867 – 23 August 1901) was a South African missionary murdered during the Second Boer War. Although two officers of the Bushveldt Carbineers (BVC) were tried in connection with the murder and acquitted, there is evidence that one of these – Lieutenant Peter Handcock – afterwards confessed to the killing.
