The body was found in the bushes next to a gravel road leading to a river in the area. Police were called and on arrival, they found the charred remains of an unknown woman. The victim had beads with her that are normally worn by traditional healers. She was apparently burned at the same place.
“As police continue the fight against gender-based violence (GBV), a horrendous crime like this requires absolute determination and relentlessness in pursuit of the suspect(s) responsible. “Our members will therefore not rest until they are found,” said Hadebe.
