THE KIMBERLEY police are investigating the murder of Chareen May, 56, whose body was found at her home in Stamford Street on Saturday.

“The inquest docket has since been changed to a murder case. No arrests have been made yet,” said Gopane.
She stated that an autopsy had been conducted to determine the cause of death.
