Man murdered and dismembered in Roodepoort

It has been alleged a man was murdered and dismembered in Roodepoort on Friday, reports Roodepoort Record.

There are two versions of the event currently doing the rounds. In one version, the domestic worker got suspicious when she arrived at the flat where she worked and found traces of blood. She alerted the police who allegedly discovered limbs in the flat. Later a member of the public came across the rest of the corpse, the head and torso still intact, in the veld adjacent to Jersey Road. It seemed the killer had attempted to burn the body.
