A man who was murdered in an alleged mob justice incident in Old Coronation is still lying unidentified in the morgue.

It is alleged that the man stole an amp on Friday, June 14, and was then brutally beaten by four males.

The deceased man’s body was then dumped in a yard, where he succumbed to his injuries.

SAPS were called and met at the scene by another man who claimed he was the father of the deceased.

The body of the man was taken to the morgue where formal identification was to take place, but nobody appeared to come and claim their family member.

“If anyone has any information that could lead to an arrest or assist in locating the family of the deceased, please contact Witbank Detective services standby number 079 891 4809, crime stop on 0860010111, or contact the MySAPSapp,” requested police spokesperson, Captain Eddie Hall.
