found to be carrying genitals in his wallet believed to be those of
his missing nephew.
According to South African police spokesperson who spoke to the BBC,
after his arrest, the man took officers to a forest in Eastern Cape
Province where a mutilated body was found.
The teenager's head, arms and legs had been chopped off and were found
not far from his torso, he said.
The man was questioned as he was suspected of involvement in the
disappearance of his 18-year-old nephew, who had gone missing from the
town of Ngcobo on Sunday.
The police spokesperson, Mzukisi Fatyela, said the genitals were found
packed inside the suspect's wallet. He said the motive for the killing
and mutilation was not known but an investigation was under way.
When asked whether it could be linked to a "muti" killing – when
witchdoctors use body parts in their potions – Mr Fatyela said:
"We can't say that with certainty at the moment but the police are
investigating all possibilities.
" Meanwhile, the arrested man is expected to appear in court on
Friday; and he is expected to be charged with murder.
