{{A South African 24-year-old man was arrested Chesterville on Friday in connection with the death of his pregnant girlfriend, who was burnt and her body chopped up, KwaZulu-Natal police said.}}<\/p>\n
“The suspect from Chesterville identified what is believed to be the remains of his late heavily pregnant girlfriend, who was reported missing on 21 February 2014,” said Captain Thulani Zwane.<\/p>\n
Zwane said Cato Manor police officers went with the man on Road 25 in Chesterville where he pointed out remains believed to be his 22-year-old girlfriend.<\/p>\n
“It is believed she was burnt and chopped up into pieces after being bludgeoned with a sharp object to the head. The DNA will be conducted to establish whether the recovered remains were of the same missing person.”<\/p>\n
Zwane said the man initially denied knowing where his girlfriend was and said he went with her to a nearby bus stop because she was on her way to a hospital.<\/p>\n
The motive for the murder was not known and investigations continue.<\/p>\n
“It is possible that the suspect may be charged for a double murder,” he said.<\/p>\n
The man was expected to appear in court soon.<\/p>\n
