Traditional healer arrested after heads of woman and her 2-year-old daughter found
A Limpopo traditional healer faces two murder charges after he was found in possession of two human heads - those of a 34-year-old Limpopo woman and her 2-year-old daughter.
Rendani Tshigwil and her daughter, Ndingatshilidzi Muronga, went missing in May.
According to police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, police initially arrested two people on Wednesday after police found them in possession of the decapitated bodies of Tshigwil and her daughter.
The two people, Tshilidzi Phalandwa, 43, and Balangani Sedzani Tshivhombedze, 32, appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate's Court on Friday and the case was postponed for further investigation to 12 August.
During an operation on Friday to find the missing heads, the traditional healer was arrested.
A 55-year-old man was also taken into custody for his alleged role in the murders.
The man and the traditional healer are expected to appear in the same court on Monday.
