Initial Article: BREAKING NEWS: Human remains dug up from shallow grave
Last week Thursday, human remains were dug up from a shallow grave on a plot in the area. Forensic experts spent numerous hours exhuming the body, which was transported to the Roodepoort Government Mortuary for post-mortem purposes.
Evidence found on the scene would suggest that the body is that of the missing man. Forensic evidence is still, however, being processed to confirm this.
“We will continue to follow up all relevant information in order to see justice served,” said Colonel William Pestana, the Randfontein detective commander.
