According to an official source, a resident spotted the body in the river and immediately alerted SAPS. Police responded to the call at around 13:30, where the body was recovered.
Bricks were reportedly tied to the body, with the hands tied behind the back. This has led police officials to suspect foul play was involved with the death.
