The police<\/a> found the lifeless body of a man in a house on Bergenshoopweg in Lelydorp on Tuesday, 10 November 2026. The victim has been identified as D.R. Due to the injuries on his body and the circumstances in which he was found, police suspect foul play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

O<\/span>fficers from the Lelydorp police station went to the address to investigate following a report from the Command Center. Upon arrival, they found the man’s lifeless body in a bedroom. The victim had injuries<\/a> and his body was smeared with blood.<\/p>\n

A doctor who was called in officially pronounced him dead. The nature of the injuries and the situation at the scene have led police to suspect that the man may have died as a result of violence.<\/p>\n

Machete seized<\/h3>\n

The Capital Crimes and Forensic Investigation (FO) departments were called in to conduct tactical and technical investigations respectively. During the investigation, a machete was found and seized by police. Whether the weapon was actually used in the suspected crime has yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

Body seized for autopsy<\/h3>\n

On the instructions of the Public Prosecution Service, D.R.’s body was seized for an autopsy. The investigation must, among other things, provide clarity on the precise cause of death and the circumstances under which the man died.<\/p>\n

The Capital Crimes department is responsible for the further investigation. Police have so far made no statements about possible suspects or arrests.<\/p>\n
