Kwa-Thema councillor believes woman’s body was dumped at the scene
City of Ekurhuleni councillor Sizwe Nhleko says the body was starting to decompose.
Sizwe Nhleko, a councillor from Kwa-Thema in Ekurhuleni, believes that the latest discovered body of a woman may have been dumped at the scene. The body was brought to their attention via a community WhatsApp group. This brings the total number of women's bodies found in Ekurhuleni since July this year to six. Police and forensic teams are currently investigating the area, searching for any clues that could aid their inquiry.
Nhleko noted that the body was already decomposing at the time of discovery. "We received a WhatsApp message from all the work groups this morning stating that a woman's body had been found here. Upon arriving, we confirmed that the body was indeed a woman's and discovered that it had been left in the area, despite the fact that no such incident had occurred here before, and the body was showing signs of decomposition."
Nhleko further explained, "All this information was provided by the police during their investigation. As soon as they arrived, they opened the body and conducted a thorough examination to determine the cause of death. They found that the body was already decomposing."
