On further investigation they found the body of the 42-year-old victim, who is allegedly from Madibogo, inside his shack. He also had a stab wound to his neck.
Captain Sibiya said witnesses alleged that three unknown people entered the 25-year-old victim’s shack at about 00:00. They demanded cash and took cell phones.
“They bound the victim’s hands using a belt. One of them took the victim’s girlfriend to the nearby veld where he raped her.”
