Ex-girlfriend’s body parts found stashed in refrigerator
Soweto man whose refrigerator was stashed with ex-lover’s body parts is still under heavy police guard at a local hospital after he stabbed himself multiple times before he was apprehended. He is due expected to appear in court this week. The 27-year-old man was arrested at a house in Protea Glen, Soweto.
According to police, the suspect’s new partner discovered the body parts after he had left to go shopping.
On Saturday morning, he left her to buy a few grocery items. During his absence, the girlfriend, who is believed to be a student at the University of Johannesburg, opened the freezer and uncovered bags containing body parts. Screaming and traumatised, she fled to neighbour Sarah Marumole for solace and comfort.
“This young lady had come to my gate, we let her in. She told us that she had seen body parts, speaking about a hand that she found in the freezer. The lady who found the body parts were traumatised, she was shaking, vomiting. When my husband came, he heard the story and he alerted the other neighbours via our community WhatsApp group.”
The murder accused is expected to appear at the Protea Magistrate’s Court this week.
