“DNA test results received on Tuesday, from a forensics lab, have confirmed that it was the body of an adult woman,” says police spokesman Sgt Harry Manaka.
It is, however, impossible to tell who the woman is and it is unclear what happened to her.
Manaka says police are asking for anyone with information to contact Det Const Theo Jacobs on 060 313 6702 or 011 730 4727.
