Families urged to check Germiston mortuary

JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng Police have appealed to families whose loved ones are missing to check the Germiston government mortuary.
 
This as police struggle to identify some of the bodies discovered in Kempton Park and surrounding areas.

"The appeal will be to all the families, whether you are in Pretoria, whether you're in West Rand, Sedibeng, anywhere. Just take an opportunity, maybe to go if there is someone of your family who has been missing, or you don't have contact, you stopped having contact with a female person in their early, from late 20s to early 30s, etc," said Acting Provincial Commissioner Fred Kekana.

"Go to the government mortuary in Germiston."
