Rustenburg – A 25-year-old man allegedly killed his mother in Pretoria and then traveled to Mahikeng with his head in a bag, Northwest police said Monday.
Provincial police spokesman Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said the man was arrested on Saturday in Motshiwastad, Mahikeng, in the northwest of the country, after members of the Flying Squad acted on a tip about a man carrying a human head.
“Upon arrival at the scene, the police found the bag in the suspect’s possession. During the search, a human head was found inside the bag. The suspect allegedly admitted to killing his mother on Monday, September 7, 2020 in Hercules, Pretoria .
As a result, he was arrested. The suspect will appear in court [on Monday] and be transferred to Pretoria to face a murder charge, “he said.
The motive for the incident is unknown, he said, adding that the investigation into the matter is continuing.
The suspect appeared at the Molopo Justice of the Peace in Mmabatho and the matter was definitively transferred to Hercules, where the murder occurred.
In July, a 28-year-old man was arrested in Vryburg for violating a grave after he was allegedly found in possession of two bags containing what he claimed were the bones of his dead father.
He reportedly unearthed his father’s grave in Moshawane village, Mahikeng, placed the bones in two bags, and traveled to Vryburg, about 100 miles from Mahikeng.
His father was buried in Moshawane 16 years ago.
It is not clear what he intended to do with the bones.
