KNYSNA NEWS - The community of Hornlee has been shocked by the death of 59-year-old Anna Moos, who went missing two weeks ago and was found dead on Tuesday 11 January.
According to Southern Cape police spokesperson Captain Malcolm Pojie, Moos was last seen alive by members of the community on the evening of Friday 7 January.
Three days later, on the evening of Monday 10 January, a missing person report was filed at the Knysna Police Station.
An intensive search for Moos followed. "A search party led by the investigating officer, comprising specialised units, including the K-9 (dog unit) and members of the community ensued, resulting in the discovery of the body of the 59-year-old lady the day thereafter on Tuesday 11 January," said Pojie.
Moos' body was already partially decomposed when it was discovered by a member of the community in some bushes between Alemein and Stroebel Streets in Hornlee.
"An autopsy was conducted to determine the possible cause of death. Such report is not available at this stage and will be produced in court as part of the evidence," Pojie said. The search then began for the suspect in her death - her 28-year-old son.
"Endurance and the constant following up on information about the whereabouts of the wanted suspect, son of the deceased, resulted in his arrest by members of the community who handed him over to the investigation team," Pojie said.
