As reported by TimesLive, there was shock and sadness in South Africa on Monday afternoon after a senior government official was found dead inside a guest room at a local lodging.
The official is said to have been brutally murdered, and some body parts were missing at the time the body was discovered.
The incident has left many people confused and frightened, especially due to the strange circumstances surrounding the death.
According to the TimesLive report, the official was earlier seen arriving at the lodging in the company of a woman. Witnesses said the two looked normal and calm as they walked into the guest room together.
There was no sign of trouble at that time, and no one suspected that anything bad was about to happen.
However, about twenty to thirty minutes later, the same woman was reportedly seen leaving the lodging alone.
She was carrying a bag, which immediately raised suspicion among staff and people who later learned about the incident. The official was not seen leaving the room after that.
It was later discovered that the official was dead inside the guest room. Police were called to the scene, where they made the disturbing discovery that some body parts were missing. The nature of the killing has caused fear and serious concern among members of the public.
Police officers have now launched investigations and are working hard to trace the woman who was last seen with the official.
Authorities want to question her to understand what she was carrying in the bag and her role in the incident.
No arrests have been made so far, and police have urged anyone with information to come forward.
The case remains under investigation as the nation waits for answers.
