Daily Sun (August 7 2013) - THE HORROR of muthi killing has come back to Soweto for the first time in 10 years. The body of security guard Isaac Mngomezulu (32) was found yesterday in an open space in Snake Park, Dobsonville. HE HAD BEEN MUTILATED AND BURNT!
According to witnesses:
- The left side of his body, his right arm and head had been set on fire.
- His eyes and private parts were missing.
- Some of his hair was missing.
- His throat and chest were cut open.
- A dead chicken was found buried in what looked like a shallow grave next to him.
The gruesome ritual murder shocked the neighbourhood when his body was discovered by a passerby. Isaac's girlfriend Zanele Khambule couldn't control her grief and had to be comforted by friends.
"Take me now, God," she wailed. "What's going to happen to my kids? Why did you leave me? How am I going to live without you?"
Speaking to Daily Sun, Isaac's friend, Joseph Msimang, said: "My heart is broken. He was my best friend. I was with him every day. He was a good person and we had a good relationship. I went to look closely and saw that his eyes were removed. I was shocked and ran away," he said.
