UPDATE: Centurion businessman still missing

"The department is still waiting for the outcomes of the forensic investigation and we hope they would be available this Thursday."

The wait for the results on the DNA tests on the bones found next to a burnt out car of the missing Pretoria businessman continues.

The Gauteng department of community safety spokesperson, Busaphi Nxumalo, said businessman Omar Carrim had not yet been found.

Carrim (76) was reported missing earlier this month in Laudium.

A few days later his Mercedes-Benz E300 was found burnt near Atteridgeville.

Community safety MEC Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane had revealed that the bones had been found near the car.

Nxumalo said: “The department is still waiting for the outcomes of the forensic investigation and we hope they would be available this Thursday.”

But police spokesperson Captain Augustine Selepe had said it was unlikely the bones would be Carrim’s.

“At this point, it’s not even clear if they are human bones.”
