It has been alleged that a man was murdered and dismembered in Van der Linde Road on Friday, 11 January.
There are two versions of the event currently doing the rounds. In one version, the domestic worker got suspicious when she arrived at the flat where she worked and found blood traces. She alerted the police who allegedly discovered limbs in the flat. Later a member of the public came across the rest of the corpse, the head and torso still intact, in the veld adjacent to Jersey Road. It seemed that the killer had attempted to burn the body.
