Fifth body retrieved from Hennops River

Police have confirmed a fifth body was found near the Hennops River in the search for missing officers. Here is the latest information.

A fifth body has been discovered near the Hennops River, with police confirming the find as part of their ongoing investigation into the disappearance of three officers.

National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed that a fifth body was found on Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities remain on the scene alongside family members, as details around the fourth and fifth bodies remain unclear and police have yet to confirm whether the three recovered bodies are those of the missing officers.

The three police constables, 30-year-old Keamogetswe Buys, 20-year-old Constable Boipelo Senoge, and 24-year-old Cebekhulu Linda, disappeared last Wednesday while travelling from Bloemfontein to their deployment area in Limpopo.

National police commissioner, General Fannie Masemola, has announced an R350 000 reward for information that could lead to the missing police officers being found.
