NATIONAL NEWS - A week-long search for Durban North woman, Siam Lee ended tragically and horribly on Thursday, with the discovery of her charred, assaulted body on a Midlands sugar cane farm.
A relative on Thursday identified the remains, according to non-police sources close to the investigation and the hunt for the 20-year-old.
Police have confirmed a murder investigation, but have not confirmed the identity of the victim pending the results of DNA tests.
Lee was last seen outside her workplace in Margaret Maytom Drive in Durban North last Thursday. Her family widely appealed for her safe return, via newspapers and video footage on social media.
Police on Wednesday released the identikit of a man they believe could assist them in their inquiries. According to information the police received, he fetched Lee in a black Mercedes Benz Vito with unknown Gauteng registration plates.
Four independent sources told The Mercury yesterday that the body had been identified as that of Lee.
