When they arrived on scene they found a man lying naked on the ground covered with a piece of burnt plastic.
“The victim was badly burnt and paramedics were called to the scene,” said Maome.
Paramedics declared the man dead on the scene and a murder docket was opened by the Primrose police.
Three men, aged between 32 and 46 years old, were soon arrested for the alleged murder.

They were taken to the Primrose Police Station.
“We are once again appealing to our community to not take the law into their own hands and report all criminal activities to the police,” said Maome.
The suspects appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where their case was postponed for a bail application.
