\u201cThe head, which was severed, was found a few metres away from the body,\u201d explained Capt Mega Ndobe, communications officer for the Katlehong police.<\/p>\n

Police were unable to confirm whether the corpse was male or female.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe only thing that could be clearly identified was a blue City of Ekurhuleni T-shirt,\u201d said Ndobe.<\/p>\n

The Katlehong police are, therefore, appealing to anyone who may have information on the body or whose loved one has recently gone missing to contact the Katlehong Police Station on 011 617 3686.<\/p>\n
