The body of a 37-year-old man from Mayfair West has been found with multiple gunshots wounds to the upper body in Riverlea west of Johannesburg on Saturday.

“The man’s body was found by passersby after he was reported missing at the Brixton Police Station,” said the police’s Captain Augustinah Selepe.

According to a source close to the family who spoke to Radio Islam, Zaheer Moosa who was involved in fervent Islamic work left his home on Friday night to visit a friend, but never arrived at the friend’s house.

“The last call he made was to his wife, but he never spoke. She says the conversation was sounding normal, didn’t take it seriously and thought he dialed by mistake and dropped the call and that was the last we heard from him (sic),” said the source.

Zaheer’s white Nissan Tida along with his mobile phone and personal possessions were also missing.

Captain Selepe said there was no motive for the attack,

“No suspects have been arrested and Police are investigating a case of murder.”
