POLOKWANE – According to Polokwane police spokesperson, Capt Ntobeng Phala, a case of concealment of birth is being investigated after a local plumber made the gruesome discovery in a drain last week.
The plumber, who spoke to Review on the basis of anonymity, said was called to a house in Magazyn Street on Friday, 16 October to inspect a blocked drainpipe.
(WATCH VIDEO) “I opened the drain and found there was something caught in the entrance of the pipe and proceeded to pull it. Upon closer inspection I realised it was a human foetus,” the man said.
The Northern Upper Town (NUT) community policing forum (CPF) assisted the plumber and residents of the house until the police arrived.
Capt Phala has urged anyone with information to contact the Polokwane police station.
