    Tumahole police in Parys are looking for Kenneth Motaung, 26, who they believe could assist in resolving the alleged killing of a young woman who was found buried in a shallow grave.

    Provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Sam Makhele said some time last month, police received information about a body possibly buried in a shallow grave at a house in Tambo section in Tumahole township.

    “Police attended to the complaint and the body of Dieketseng Suzan Tsotetsi, 17, was found buried in the shallow grave,” said Makhele in a statement.

    He said concerned community members informed the police that they saw Motaung digging a big hole in his aunt’s yard and they thought he was going to throw in rubbish.

    The neighbours later noticed that the hole had been closed but the rubbish was still in the yard.

    A few days later, the suspect was seen selling his aunt’s television and fridge.

    He is said to have left his aunt’s house the following day carrying bags and never returned.

    Anyone with information on Motaung’s whereabouts may contact Detective Sergeant Andre Jacobs on 082 465 3140.

    Meanwhile, a man who had evaded justice in connection with a murder case for almost 15 years was recently arrested when he least expected it.

    Senki Mavin Mokoena, 39, was arrested by the Bethlehem detectives on Sunday after he presumably fell into oblivion and was working on a farm in Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng.

    Mokoena was arrested together with seven other people in September 2006 after they allegedly assaulted Petrus Tshabalala, then 40, who later died.

    His accomplices were later sentenced and served their prison terms but Mokoena stopped attending court and disappeared.

    Police kept tracking until his luck ran out and was brought back to court on Monday.

    He was found guilty and sentenced on Wednesday.

    Just like his co-accused, Mokoena will spend 90 days in prison and four years were wholly suspended from his sentence.
