Makhado - Dogs ate a baby and now police are looking for a Zimbabwean woman called Sibbie Shonai to help them solve the case.
A resident of Makhado in Limpopo heard dogs fighting and found the animals feeding on a baby in bushes on March 25.
"He said he saw the dogs eating intestines and a hand so he called the police," said Vhembe police spokesperson, Superintendent Ailwei Mushavhanamadi on Thursday.
Police found more body parts scattered on the scene, as well as a hospital chart.
The hospital chart was traced to Polokwane provincial hospital where the child's mother was identified, but she was nowhere to be found.
Further investigations revealed that before the dogs found the corpse, a municipal tractor had driven over it.
Police have asked Shonai to contact the Makhado police or the nearest police station.
