BURNT BEYOND RECOGNITION
Daily Voice
|July 30, 2025
POLICE have arrested two suspects in connection with a badly burnt body - believed to be that of missing 41-year-old Malcolm Pather - found in Melkbosstrand.
-
Pather was reported missing by his brother-in-law on 15 July and according to Facebook posts appealing for help to track him down, the Richwood man was last seen leaving his home in his Blue BMW 1 Series vehicle on 13 July.
His phone was switched off that same day, and while his car was later found in Mitchells Plain, he was nowhere to be seen.
It is alleged that he had booked a sex worker in Table View on the day of his dis appearance. Pather, though, apparently walked into a trap, with it being believed that he was ambushed and extorted before he was believed to be murdered and set alight.
