Police in the Northern Cape are investigating a case of murder after the body of a 31-year-old woman was exhumed from a shallow grave in Roodepan, Kimberley.
Police says an intensive search for the victim led to the discovery of her decomposed body behind a shanty in Ivory Park earlier this week.
The deceased had been reported missing on the 7th of June.
Police have arrested a 39-year-old man, who is believed to be her boyfriend.
He is expected to appear in the Kimberly Magistrates Court soon.
