One of the discoveries was made this morning at a sports ground in Bhambayi.


KZN VIP Medical's Gareth Naidoo says the victim - a man - was declared dead at the scene. " His lifeless body just laid across the ground, he had stab wounds on his chest area. The family tels us that he was the bread-winner at home and he was doing work on the previous day. He spoke to them and told them he was on his way home, but never arrived." 


Yesterday, police recovered skeletal remains in Tongaat.


It's understood a 13-year-old boy stumbled upon them over the weekend while walking his dog through a bushy area.
