Police are investigating a suspicious shack fire that claimed the life of a mother.
Nospelo Gebe, 46, was found dead in her Wallacedene shack at midnight on Saturday after neighbours claim she was murdered and set alight.
Neighbours say Nospelo's face was covered with a black plastic bag and suspect paraffin was used to start the flames.
Itumileng Ndamane, 26, says she's puzzled by her friends death because nothing inside her tiny shack was damaged by the blaze.
"No one else in the shack was hurt," she says.
"Her brother was also sleeping in the house when the fire started and he was drunk. Even on her bed, only her side was affected by the fire and not the side her kids were lying on."
A neighbour says she thinks Nospelo was the victim of a muti murder.
"But now I'm not sure anymore. We don't know who killed her," she says.
Police spokesperson Captain Gerhard Niemand says cops are waiting for the post-mortem results.
"Because it is a fire, there is nothing we can say at face value, so we are waiting for the post-mortem results.
"We are investigating a murder and we will wait for the results of the postmortem to confirm," he says. - Daily Voice
