A woman from Gqeberha who was reported missing on Monday has been found shot dead.
Police Spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg says 47-year-old Janine Susan Swartz was last seen in Vastrap at a friend's house.
She says earlier on Friday morning Chatty detectives with the assistance of Warrant Officer Ettiene Gerber and his K9 partner Misty found her body in an open field.
Swartz sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was found near the Chatty Clinic.
Janse van Rensburg says the circumstances surrounding her murder are unknown and any person who can assist is urged to come forward.
