Man’s decomposed body found in police station roof

The decomposed body of a man was discovered in the roof of the Hazyview police station in Mpumalanga on Wednesday.

Provincial police spokesperson Brig Donald Mdhluli said the discovery was made on after staff began investigating a persistent foul smell that had engulfed the station for days.

“Initially, it was suspected that the unbearable odour was coming from a dead animal. A search was conducted, but nothing could be found,” Mdhluli said.
