The man’s body was badly decomposed with his ribs and other bones in his body showing.

“My father was missing three weeks now.

“We searched for him but didn’t see him; last month was his birthday and now he is dead,” the son said. When asked if he had made a report to the police, he replied in the negative.

He explained that his father was a hardworking man who was peaceful and was not known to be a trouble maker. However, he said his father consumed alcohol regularly and had seizures at times.

The man whom Forrester last worked with told this publication that he did manual labour for anyone in the community who required a handyman.
