The gruesome discovery was made by the detectives from Vosman in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga, the K9 Unit, Criminal Record Centre and the Investigative Psychology Unit when they revisited the scene on Monday to search for the victim's hands.
The provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Semakaleng Manamela has reassured the public that the team of investigators are working tirelessly to resolve the case and chase after the suspects.
