Soek- en duikspanne van polisie haal lyk uit myndam

Die polisie se soek- en reddingspan van die K9-eenheid, asook die duikspan, het vanoggend die lyk van ’n persoon uit ’n myndam net buite die dorp op die Bethalpad gehaal.

Polisielede was vroeg op die toneel waar die man in die dam beland het.

Op die toneel het ’n sekuriteitswag vertel dat twee verdagtes vanoggend in die vroeë oggendure by ’n stenefabriek betrap is.

Waarskuwingskote is geskiet en die twee het weggehardloop. Een van die verdagtes het in die rigting van die informele nedersetting gehardloop. Die ander een het egter in ’n sloot afgehardloop langs sand mynhope en in die myndam beland.

• Die operasie om sy oorskot na die oppervlak te bring en teen die helling uit te dra, het sowat twee ure geduur.
