Burnt human remains found at Yarrowkabra

Police investigators have launched a probe after burnt human remains were discovered on Sunday at Yarrowkabra on the Soesdyke Linden Highway.

The News Room understands that a few young boys from the area made the discovery and reported it to their parents who later contacted the police.

The remains were burnt beyond recognition and forensic investigators were called in.

One pair of black, gold and white Air Jordan sneakers was found attached to the right leg bone while part of the skull appeared to have a chop wound.

The News Room understands that investigators believe the person was killed elsewhere and then taken to the location and burnt. It appears as if the person was also stuffed inside a suitcase.

Other items found near the remains include a watch, a knife and screw drivers.
