Durban — Police are conducting investigations after human body parts, which included a severed penis, were found at a dumpsite in Amaoti in Inanda on Friday.
Police spokesperson in Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN). Colonel Robert Netshiunda said a case has been opened at the Inanda Police Station. He explained that bodily remains were found at the dump, IOL reported.
“A human head and feet of an unknown person were found inside a black plastic bag. Next to that bag was another transparent plastic bag containing human legs. Blood-stained clothing items and a blanket were found at the scene. Suspects are unknown at this stage,” he said.
Reaction Unit SA (RUSA) were at the scene and revealed that the gruesome delivery was made by a man who was looking for valuables at the site. RUSA’s Prem Balram said the man found dismembered body parts located on a rubbish pile.
“He discovered a head and two legs that were hacked off from below the knees. He alerted the community who in turn contacted Rusa offices,” Balram said.
“Injuries to the male head indicate that the deceased was assaulted,” Balram added.
He said more body parts were found inside another plastic bag, wrapped in a blood-soaked sheet.
Balram said a few metres away, Rusa officers also discovered a penis lying on a pathway.
RUSA uploaded bodycam footage on Facebook and revealed that reaction officers and paramedics on the scene will be offered counselling.
