NEWSFLASH: Missing Centurion man found dead in Free State
33-year-old Centurion man, Vinesh Rajoo, was found dead on Thursday after a two-week long search.
An epileptic Centurion man was found dead in the Free State after he went missing about two weeks ago.
The body of Vinesh Rajoo (33) was discovered on Tuesday afternoon next to a dam in Harrismith.
“He was found in Sterkfontein around 17:15 on the banks of a dam. He had no visible injuries and no foul play is suspected,” said Free State police spokesperson Sergeant Mmako Mophiring.
Rajoo of Eco-Park was last seen on 19 March around 11:00 in his silver Opel Corsa bakkie.
Residents had launched an extensive search to find Rajoo and flyers were distributed across Centurion.
Mophiring said the bakkie was found abandoned in Sterkfontein, and an inquest docket had been opened.
Centurion Concerned Citizens, a community safety body, thanked the residents for their assistance.
“We want to thank everyone that helped into late hours with our search for him. Your hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed.”
