|||Cape Town - A body found in a freezer at Senator Park earlier this month has been identified as that of a woman.
The police confirmed that an autopsy had been done on Thursday.
The body was found in a freezer on the fifth floor of the notorious block of flats in central Cape Town on October 3.
“According to the pathologist report, the deceased is an unknown female,” said police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk.
He said police would try to find out more about her through possible medical history records.
The discovery of the body shocked the owner of the flat and the building manager who said that the incident was a sad reminder of what Senator Park used to be like.
Senator Park, previously known as a hotbed for drugs, crime and prostitution, is now undergoing a multimillion-rand upgrade.
Van Wyk said no further information would be released as the police investigation into the matter continued.
