The body of a woman was discovered on Saturday in the so-called Police Dam (real name Preston Pan) near Glencoe. The woman, who was found by fishermen, was reportedly wearing only a pair of panties and an orange floar shirt. It is believed she had been in the water for over a day, as decomposition had already begun to set in.

SAPS spokesperson, Constable Siyabonga Nkwanyana, confirmed the discovery and stated that further details would be provided as the investigation progresses. The police are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist with their inquiries.

Members of the public with relevant information are encouraged to contact Detective Sergeant Zungu on 07 157 69285 or Glencoe SAPS 034 329 0007.
