Skeletal remains discovered in Oakford

Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) were standing off in Oakford – KZN where the partially dressed human skeletal remains were discovered.

Reaction Officers were dispatched to the area after a herdsman made the discovery. On arrival, members of the community-led Officers several hundred meters on foot through dense vegetation and down a steep cliff where the remains were located. The identity or sex of the deceased could not be confirmed due to the extent of the decomposition. The skeleton was dressed in red pajama pants.

Due to the extreme terrain and darkness, it was decided that the remains will be recovered at first light.
