Mahalapye teens allegedly kill, bury Zim man

PALAPYE: Two young men, aged 19 and 20, were remanded in police custody last Friday on suspicion of killing a Zimbabwean male aged 30-years whose corpse was found buried near in Mahalapye.

The suspects were allegedly engaged by the deceased as helpers at his piece- job where they were fitting tiles. According to Mahalapye Police investigations, the piece-work was allegedly concluded on November 24, the day the deceased allegedly met his fate.

Superintendent Isaac Mamadi of Mahalapye Police said the two suspects allegedly took the car belonging to the deceased and used it on their trips to the cattle post around Mahalapye. He said the car led the police to the arrest of the duo. The matter was reported last Thursday by a woman who stayed with the deceased who was worried by his mysterious disappearance.
