Free State police are investigating the brutal murder of a 57-year-old police Captain whose body was found in a veld near Botshabelo on Tuesday.
Provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Motantsi Makhele, said his body was found by a passer-by.
He said the policeman, who was stationed at the Selosesha Visible Policing Unit, had a wound on the side of his stomach and his throat was slit.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the deceased could have been killed elsewhere and dumped where he was found.”
Makhele said the motive for the officer’s murder is not yet known and his name has not yet been released.
