Randfontein police station commander Brigadier Mashole Jacob Manamela said they received a complaint from radio control to attend to an abandoned vehicle. They found blood trickling out of the car onto the tarmac, said Manamela.

A case of murder is now being investigated.

“We appeal to the community to assist the police with information that could lead to the arrest of those responsible,” Manamela concluded.
