The body of a KwaZulu-Natal woman who went missing two weeks ago has been found dismembered and buried in a shallow grave, police said on Monday.<\/p>\n
Three black men, aged between 18 and 20, were arrested on Sunday for the murder of Thandazile Mpunzi, 20, in Emanguzi, northern KwaZulu-Natal, Major Thulani Zwane said in a statement.<\/p>\n
She was reported missing on August 5. A tip-off led to the arrest of the three men, who led them to the body.<\/p>\n
It appeared that she had been strangled before she was cut into pieces and buried. The motive for the murder was not yet known.<\/p>\n
The three would appear in the Emanguzi Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
