Cape Town – Police in Limpopo are investigating after a 39-year-old man was allegedly stoned to death in Motlolo village on Tuesday night.
This followed the discovery of a decomposing body of a 13-year-old girl in Calbin Mohlala’s home.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said that Kabelo Malatjie left her home on March 24 to attend extra classes at a nearby school but she never returned.
“An immediate search for the victim was conducted at relatives and surrounding villages without success,” said Mojapelo.
On Monday, police were called when neighbours detected an unpleasant odour coming from Mohlala’s home.
