The woman’s body was found lying on a bed.

A woman was discovered lifeless in a KwaZulu-Natal bedroom a day after neighbours reported hearing a violent argument, with her husband now missing and police investigating.

Body discovered during wellness check

The woman was found dead at her residence in Greylands on Monday, a day after an alleged domestic dispute was reported at the same property.

According to Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa), the property owner’s father grew concerned after not seeing the woman that morning and, together with another tenant, went to check on her.

“They entered the home and discovered her lying motionless on a bed in a bedroom,” Rusa said.

Reaction officers were called out after the property owner asked for help once the woman’s body was found.

Argument reported the night before

Rusa said information gathered at the scene indicated that the woman and her husband had argued and physically fought the previous evening.

The organisation noted that this was not an isolated incident.

“Similar incidents had occurred previously, and the couple regularly consumed alcohol,” Rusa alleged.

The husband could not be located following the discovery of his wife’s body.

Bruising found, cause of death unclear

After discovering her lifeless body, paramedics were called to the scene.

“Paramedics from Rusa examined the woman and observed slight bruising to her face and the right side of her chest,” the organisation said.

An open bottle of tablets was also found in the bedroom. Rusa confirmed that the exact cause of death had not yet been determined.

The matter was handed over to local authorities.

“The Tongaat Saps in KZN are investigating further,” Rusa said.
