Police in Heuningspruit are investigating an inquest after the badly decomposed body of an unidentified man was found inside a dilapidated building near Wolwelaagte Farm on November 5, at around 09:45.

Officers rushed to the scene following a report and discovered the remains, which were too decomposed for visual identification.

The deceased was wearing a green and white golf T-shirt and blue denim shorts.

While preliminary observations showed no visible physical injuries, detectives found mysterious vehicle tyre tracks outside the building that may form part of the ongoing investigation.

According to Fezile Dabi Police spokesperson Constable Kelello Patsa, the remains have been taken to the state mortuary for a post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death and help identify the man.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and contact Detective Sergeant Chabalala on 081 497 5338, use the MySAPS App, or call Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
