Updated | By Nushera Soodyal
KZN police have yet to make arrests in the murder of a pregnant woman believed to have been thrown off a cliff at Oribi Gorge in southern KZN.
Nelisa Cele left her Gamalakhe home last Wednesday to take delivery of the car she'd bought but never returned.
Her body was found spotted on Friday halfway down a cliff by a tourist who'd been bird-watching.
The body of the 31-year-old nurse was taken to a mortuary. Family members - who'd been searching - were able to find her and identify her body.

Mbhele says they can also confirm Cele was pregnant at the time.
