The police in Giyani are investigating a case of murder following the recovery of the burnt body of a 40-year-old woman in Limpopo.
It is understood the grim discovery was made in Dzingidzingi village on Monday.
Police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba said the body was discovered in the bushes burnt with a tyre.
“It is alleged that the deceased was last seen in the early hours around 1am on the same day when she went to her boyfriend’s home allegedly after she was telephonically informed by the boyfriend that one of her children whom are staying with their father was sick.
It is reported that while the family members were at the police station to report a missing person after realizing that she was not reporting back home then information was received from the search team that the body was recovered,” Ledwaba said.
