Human skeletal remains recovered in Everest Heights

Human skeletal remains have been recovered in overgrown vegetation on Gemini Crescent in Everest Heights.

Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) were called out to the scene at approximately 11:29 after a passerby made the discovery.

On arrival, Reaction Officers were led approximately 20 meters from the road into overgrown vegetation where the skeleton dressed in grey/blue faded trousers was located.

A red t-shirt and a Humerus were found nearly a meter away. The foot bones were not located. It is believed that dogs from the neighborhood had removed the bones from the scene, but this could not be confirmed.

The race and sex of the deceased cannot be determined.
