Police are still puzzled by human skeletal remains that were found in Muizenberg over the weekend. Two members of the public, who were collecting wood in the bush near to Baden Powell Drive on Saturday, found the remains and informed law enforcement officials.

“The skeletons are not clothed, although there are some pieces of clothes in the surrounding environment of the scene. It is not known how long the remains have been there, hence our crime scene experts need to be afforded sufficient time to conduct their investigation free from pressure,” said the police’s Captain Eliot Sinyangana.

Police have registered an inquest docket until such time that there is reason to change it to murder.

An appeal has been made to the community to come forward with information that could aid the investigation. Constable Merale Manuel of Muizenberg SAPS can be contacted on 021-7879014. Alternatively call Crime stop on 08600-10111.
