THE long search by police officials for family members of a 17-year-old deceased who was also a murder suspect came to an end on Wednesday.
Lulama Butsaka went missing in October last year after confessing to his mother that he had murdered Nomsa Magwa. According to Lulama’s aunt Nontle Butsaka, police officials found her nephew’s body abandoned in the bushes at Samora Machel in October.
And they (police) have been looking for his relatives since then. Lulama was one of the suspects in the pending murder case of Nomsa Magwa.The deceased’s mother, Nombeko Butsaka told City Vision that a policeman came with a black and white picture to their home yesterday. “I saw my son lying in the pool of blood among the bushes, with a bullet wound to his head. He was dead,” she said with tears in her eyes.
“Pinkie and the other boy were released on a mere thousand rand bail. I know she killed my child to cover up her tracks. I have been looking for my son since October.”
It is believed that Lulama was killed on the same night he left his home and that he died on the scene.
The body of the deceased boy was kept at the state mortuary since October last year.
