Gauteng police said on Monday that they did not think that a Zimbabwean woman found decapitated in Killarney last week was a victim of xenophobic violence.
Police spokesperson Lungelo Dlamini told News24 that the woman's body was found on Tuesday "near where the homeless people were staying" in Killarney.
Dlamini said: "We were informed by them there was a body in a black plastic bag. She was decapitated."
"She has been identified as a Zimbabwean woman."
"We don't think it was related to the xenophobic violence. It looked like a planned killing - she was killed elsewhere, then her body was put in the plastic bag and dumped," Dlamini said, confirming that police were investigating the motive for the woman's murder.
But state media in Zimbabwe on Monday quoted members of a family in Harare who said their relative had been found decapitated in the Houghton area last week. She was named as Naome Garusa, aged 41.Source: New24
