SAPS Arrests Suspect in Shocking Murder of 14-Year-Old Likhona Fose
In a chilling development, the South African Police Service (SAPS) Occult-Related Crimes Unit has arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with the gruesome murder of 14-year-old Likhona Fose. The teenager’s mutilated body was discovered in a bush in Durban Deep, Roodepoort, on Sunday, June 1, 2025.
The discovery of Fose’s body shocked the local community and sparked widespread outrage, especially given the horrific nature of the crime. Authorities believe the murder may be linked to occult-related practices, a theory that has prompted the involvement of specialized units within SAPS.
Murder and Mutilation: A Tragic Discovery
The circumstances surrounding Likhona Fose’s death are harrowing. Her body, found in a remote area of Durban Deep, showed signs of mutilation, raising concerns that the crime was not only brutal but possibly part of a ritualistic killing. SAPS has not released specific details of the nature of the mutilation, but the connection to occult-related crimes has sent shockwaves through the community.
Fose’s family, understandably devastated by the loss, is demanding justice and answers. “She was just a child, and now she’s gone in the most horrific way. We need the truth,” said one of her relatives.

The arrest of the 39-year-old suspect came after a thorough investigation by the SAPS Occult-Related Crimes Unit, which is known for handling cases that involve possible occult or ritualistic elements. The suspect, whose identity has not yet been revealed, has been charged with murder and is scheduled to appear before the Roodepoort Magistrates Court on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.
Authorities are expected to provide further details about the case in the coming days, as the investigation continues to unfold.
Community in Shock: Calls for Justice
Local residents have expressed their outrage over the tragic death, with many calling for swift justice for Likhona Fose. The case has sparked conversations about violence and ritual killings in South Africa, particularly in areas where occult-related crimes are rumored to be more prevalent.
“Something needs to be done to stop this madness. No one’s child should have to suffer like this,” said a local community leader, adding that the investigation into occult-related crimes should be intensified.
What’s Next for the Investigation?
