BOHLOKONG - Police in Bohlokong are appealing to members of the community for any information that could assist in identifying the suspect(s) responsible for the murder of a woman whose burnt body was discovered early this morning.

At approximately 06:30 on Monday, 4 August 2025, a community member discovered the body of an unknown woman in Phase 7, Bohlokong. The victim had sustained stab wounds and her body was burned beyond recognition. A postmortem will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death and whether she was sexually violated prior to the murder.

The identity of the deceased remains unknown at this stage. Anyone with information that could assist in identifying the victim or in locating the perpetrator(s) is urged to contact Bohlokong Detective, Captain Motaung, on 082 453 0794, or report anonymously via Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or the MySAPS App.

This tragic incident occurs during Women’s Month, a time meant to celebrate and honour the lives and contributions of women in our society. Acts of this nature are deeply disturbing and unacceptable. We call on the community to unite in the fight against gender-based violence and support law enforcement efforts to ensure that justice is served.

Every person has a right to life. We must not allow such heinous crimes against women to go unpunished.

Ends
