Happy Sindane’s body was found Monday on a village roadside about 80 miles northeast of Johannesburg. The 28-year-old was surrounded by stones and had injuries on his head consistent with a stoning, The Independent reported.
“It seems he had been stoned to death, but post-mortem results have yet to confirm that,” said provincial police spokesman Col. Leonard Hlathi.
Police pleaded Tuesday for witnesses to come forward in the case.
A cousin told the Pretoria News that he had last seen Sindane on Thursday.
“He was in good spirits and happy,” Thomas Kabini said.
