MAN FINDS BROTHER-IN-LAW’S DECAPITATED BODY

AN Mpumalanga man found his brother-in-law’s decapitated body on a riverbank on Wednesday, just two months after he disappeared, police reported on Thursday. Michael Mgwenya of Blinkwater Farm, near White River, was fishing when he saw a large object wrapped in green cloth on the edge of the river. “He unwrapped the cloth and found his brother-in-law’s body,” said a Lowveld policewoman, adding: “his head and feet had been chopped off”. Mgwenya immediately notified his family that he had found Robert Mulaudzi’s remains. Mulaudzi disappeared from the farm in July. He was never reported missing to the police, but the family had been searching for him. – African Eye News Service
