Two pig stealers will get beaten! (6)
I believe the answer is:
tomtom
'stealers will get beaten' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'two pig' is the wordplay.
'two' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'pig' becomes 'tom' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tom' doubled is 'TOMTOM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
