Lucia Thembisile Yende, 30-year-old woman missing for nearly two weeks has been found dead in
her Eskom office at the Springs power station, South Africa on Monday,
May 29th.
She was last seen on May 17. Her white single cab
Toyota Hilux was also found in the parking lot. Her body was found in
the office which remained locked since the day she went missing, despite
police dogs sniffing the premises.
"On the day she was reported missing, police came and searched the
offices. They even had police dogs there but could not pick up any
smell" Eskom national spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe told News24.
"We know that the woman was found in her office‚ but I don’t know what
was the cause of death‚” police spokesperson Kay Makhubele told
TimesLIVE on Tuesday morning.
Eskom officials were quoted as saying that “something untoward” had
happened on the day that Yende had gone missing‚ referring to the fact
that CCTV cameras had stopped recording.
Family spokesperson Mboneni Yende said relatives had tried to figure out
what she had been up to at work‚ but were told the CCTV surveillance
system was switched off that day.
“The sad part is that on Thursday we went there‚ there were three
workers that were inside the station working. On that day‚ it had been
10 days since had been missing‚” Yende said.
“Are you telling me that if someone has been dead for 10 days then you
can’t smell anything? That is highly impossible. The people who were
there knew what they were doing?"
