The naked body of a prominent Limpopo magistrate was found lying next to a used condom in a bush near Giyani, the Sowetan reported on Wednesday.
The body was identified as that of Giyani magistrate Nuel Maluleke (58), of Mphangane village near Giyani.
The body — with stab wounds to the neck — was discovered on Tuesday in the middle of the bush about a kilometre from the main road by a group of women, said the newspaper.
Maluleke’s vehicle, a black Toyota Corolla bakkie, was allegedly also found near the body.
It is not known yet when Maluleke was killed.
Superintendent Mohale Ramatseba told the paper that the motive for the murder was not known and that investigations were continuing. — Sapa
