Bothithong- Police have launched a man hunt following the gruesome death of an 81-year-old woman found murdered in her house at Bothithong village, near Kuruman.

“The family member of 81-year-old Gadifele Mokae alerted about the atrocity, when found that deceased’s house was ransacked, and found her lying prostrate on the ground. Apparently the incident happened yesterday evening or in the early hours of today” lieutenant Olebogeng Tawana said.

Upon police investigation, the police discovered that Gadifele’s body was left half-naked and murdered. There are possibilities that the deceased could have been raped and murdered.
