“The police conducted a search for her along the N1 but she was nowhere to be found. The search continued on the following day with the use of a chopper and K9 unit, with no success. On Sunday 21 February, when Parys SAPS conducted their daily N1 patrol, they realised that the field was burnt out and there was a slightly burned body that had a gun wound at the back of its neck,” Police Spokesperson, Sergeant Nombulelo Mohlakoana said. The Barrage SAPS are still investigating the cause of the death.
