Murdered woman identified

 

The Makhado Police have confirmed the identity of the woman who was killed in a muti murder and whose decomposed body was found last week in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

According to local police spokesperson Capt Maano Sadike, the woman was the 36-year-old Rumbidzai Manyere from Zimbabwe, who was staying in Thsikota at the time of her death. She was reported missing on 15 March.

“The 38-year-old suspect [Freddy Azwitamisi Tshikhudo] who was found with a human arm and is currently facing a charge of murder is believed to be the one responsible for her murder,” said Sadike.

Tshikhudo appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court on Monday and again on Wednesday for a bail application. His case was, however, postponed once more after the State prosecutor informed the court that a detailed post-mortem report was needed because it would seem that  more body parts were missing from the victim than initially thought. Tshikhudo’s attorney agreed to this and his case was postponed to 29 May.

During Tshikudo's court appearance, friends and family of Manyere protested outside the court building. They demanded that Tshikhudo not be released on bail. He will remain in custody until his next court appearance.
