CHOPPED UP AND BURIED

NEARLY three weeks after a man’s disappearance from his home in Sweet Home Farm, his dismembered body was found dumped in a Philippi construction site.

Samora Machel Ward Councillor Lungisa Somdaka told the Daily Voice that Luthando “Chocolate” Lento disappeared after he failed to return to his home in Sweet Home Farm near Samora Machel.

Somdaka said that mense became concerned and alerted community leaders to his disappearance and marched to Phillippi police station where a missing persons report was opened.

The community then formed a search party to find Chocolate which led them to a construction site at the back of a farm near his home on 30 May.
