Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Gauteng police are investigating the murder of a 37-year-old Soweto man whose body was found in his yard on Impuzi street.<\/p>\n

The man had multiple injuries to his head.<\/p>\n

The victim and his tenant were apparently involved in a fight on Sunday – and the police want to question the tenant.<\/p>\n

According to Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo, a witness said he saw the tenant fighting with the deceased.<\/p>\n

The witness did not know what happened after the fight.<\/p>\n

Masondo said the victim’s body was found covered with a pink duvet.<\/p>\n

“[The deceased] was lying on the ground facing upwards, and his body was full of blood. He had multiple injuries on his head and face,” Masondo said.<\/p>\n

He said the man had been wearing green pants that had been pulled down.<\/p>\n

“His private parts was covered with a black and white T-shirt. His sneakers were next to him.”<\/p>\n

Masondo said a blood-stained crowbar was found in one of the rooms. He said no arrests had been made.<\/p>\n

Police are appealing to anyone with information to contact the SAPS Crime Stop at 08600 10111 or MySAPSApp, available on Playstore and other apps.<\/p>\n
