Meanwhile, the body of an infant believed to be 4-months-old has washed up at the Tiger Rocks Beach in Isipingo, South of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The baby is yet to be identified and likely passed on due to the April floods in KZN.

DECOMPOSED BODY FOUND IN AVOCA

A naked decomposing body of an unidentified person was discovered embedded in the bank of the Umhlangane River in Avoca, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) last month. A scrap collector reportedly made the grim discovery. 

Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) were reportedly called out to the area in the afternoon after a scrap collector approached a passerby and informed him of the discovery. 

On arrival, the scrap collector led RUSA Members more than 500 metres through dense vegetation until they reached the location of the body which was in a prone position and partially exposed along the river bank. 

“The sex or race of the deceased could not be confirmed due to the extent of the decomposition. The South African Police Service (SAPS) Search & Rescue Unit were called out to recover the body.”
