Human remains found at site pointed out by suspect

National police commissioner, Fannie Masemola, told journalists that the remains of the two people will now undergo rigorous tests to determine their identity.

"The process with the human remains we have found, they would be taken to the pathologists and we will take DNA, process it with the closest relatives - it might be one or two relatives to determine the identity of those remains.

"Then we can confirm that it is indeed them or not," said Masemola, who was with Police Minister Senzo Mchunu at the funeral of 20-year-old Constable Boipelo Senoge, who lost her life last month, alongside two colleagues, following a horrific crash at the Hennops River in Tshwane.
