Owner of popular East London guesthouse Thornycroft Lodge, Elsa Remant-Eyland, has been found dead.
The decomposed body of the 67-year-old was found by the police in the morning in the bushes outside her Horseshoe Valley home in Summerpride where she lived alone.
The gruesome discovery ended a five-day search for Reymant-Eyland who was last seen on Friday driving her white Toyota Hilux high-rider double cab.
Mdantsane police spokesman Captain Nkosikho Mzuku said the deceased was reported missing to the police by her estranged husband on Monday after she had gone missing on Friday.
“The exact circumstances surrounding the incident is not yet known. Police are investigating a case of murder.”
Family spokesman Dale Onion declined to comment about the incident adding that the family was still grieving and might release a statement later tomorrow. Onion asked the media to give the family a space to mourn in private before dropping the phone.
