Verulam woman's partner mum on her whereabouts: family
The family of a Verulam woman who was found dead after being missing for a week says they're relieved to have at least found her body.
Maria Khumalo was last seen by her family on Thursday last week when she left to visit her boyfriend who reportedly committed suicide on Sunday.
The Durban K9 Unit found the 34-year-old mother of one's body at Oakford Priory north of Durban yesterday.
The family suspects her boyfriend had something to do with the crime claiming his tracker system placed his vehicle at the scene for at least two hours.
Khumalo's brother Emmanuel says his sister's boyfriend was mum on revealing her whereabouts.
"Her boyfriend did not come to tell us where is our sister. In the end, he sent a message to mom telling her that maybe tomorrow we'll go to the police station to report. After that, we found that the boyfriend had shot himself," he said.
