“Presently the cause of death is unknown since there were no visible injuries nor bruises on his body which might suggest any form of assault,” said Ga-Rankuwa police spokesperson Captain Matthews Nkoadi.
He said preliminary investigations apparently revealed Mokoena might have been killed elsewhere before his body was dumped in the bushes.
“There were signs he was dragged next to the road and there were visible tyre marks where he was found.”
Nkoadi said an inquest docket has been opened and requested anyone with information to contact the police.
