Ackerville incident

In a separate case, police attended an inquest in Ackerville on January 19.

According to police, the body of a young woman was collected from a residence in Santa Village by a funeral parlour after she had already been certified dead by emergency medical services.

Witnesses told police that the woman had complained of severe stomach pain after allegedly ingesting poison.

She reportedly expressed regret before collapsing. Family members contacted emergency services, but she was declared dead at the scene.

Vosman SAPS confirmed that both incidents are being investigated as inquests to establish the full circumstances surrounding the deaths.
