THE Mmako family is in great shock.

This after their daughter, Angelina (31), was found murdered and buried in a shallow grave in her shack at Vezubuhle in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga, covered with soil and a slab of cement.

Angelina's uncle, Sello (34), said her body was discovered on Sunday, 13 October when a family member noticed that a double bed was placed on top of a space that had been dug up.

Sello said Angelina had been missing for eight days and the family was shocked to find out she was buried in her shack.

The family appealed to the person who killed Angelina to tell them what she did to be murdered like that. They said her death has left a big wound in the family which will not heal soon.

"We need justice to be served and we want the killer to rot in jail," said Sello.

He said his niece didn't deserve to die like that.

"We're in great pain. My niece was a good person, and she loved people. Angelina was a Christian, as well as a hustler, caring, loving and supportive.

"I'll remember her as a bubbly and loving person who loved entertainment," he said.

The uncle appealed to the community to help find the killer.

Mpumalanga police spokesman Captain Nkosi Magonseni said: "A murder case was opened, and no arrests have been reported. The police are looking for the person behind the killing."
