Forty-two-year-old Patrick Vyfhuis has been missing for two weeks now and the decomposed remains of a male which were found by the police on Wednesday have his relatives very uneasy.

The remains which were clad in clothing identical to what the missing man was wearing have relatives convinced that it is their loved one whose remains were found.

Detectives said that the remains were clad in blue sneakers, grey jeans and a t-shirt.
The relatives are contending that the man’s death might involve foul play, since he was taken to an interior location to work with a man and when efforts were made to contact him, they were given strange responses.

A relative of the dead man indicated that his employer called in the police after he had stumbled on the remains of the man. Prior to that, the relatives had heard that the man was missing, but nothing official was communicated to them.

Patrick Vyfhuis is a father of three children and had travelled to the interior in the past to earn to take care of his family. One police source indicated that DNA samples will have to be taken from either the man’s children or a sibling to confirm that the remains which were discovered are indeed his.

While no one had been detained up to press time last evening, a post-mortem is also expected to be performed on the remains soon.
