“The woman’s relatives have not been located yet and we didn’t have any case of a missing woman. We therefore encourage anyone who has a missing person to report them to their nearest police station. We also encourage anyone with a missing relative to visit Masoyi police station,”she said.
This discovery happened barely a week after another woman from Sandriver was found dead at Ivory Park. Locals voiced their concerns on social networks alleging that this might be linked to hitchhiking incidents.
