A body of a deceased person in a mortuary.
One of the families of the three people whose corpses were stolen from a funeral parlour in Kuruman, in the Northern Cape in March, say they will never find closure, until their loved one, Diteko Batswadi is found and buried.
It’s been over three weeks since the bodies of two men and a baby girl were stolen from the Motheo wa Bophelo funeral parlour.
No one has been arrested and police investigations continue.
Mosetsanagape Moncwi, the deceased man’s aunt, says the incident is still haunting them.
“We are hurting because we want to bury our loved one. He should be respected and his soul rest in peace. The incident is haunting us. We are devastated,” says Moncwi.
Last week, Provincial Police Spokesperson, Sergio Kock said the investigation was continuing.
“Investigations indicate that unknown men entered a guard room at the funeral home and assaulted, tied up and blindfolded the security guard. The suspects allegedly fled with three corpses, including two adult males and 10-year-old baby girl. To date, there has been no arrests and the missing corpses not recovered yet. The investigating team are working tirelessly and following all leads regarding the case,” says Kock.
