The body of a North West man who went missing after visiting his cousin has been found burnt and buried in a shallow grave.

Tuelo Mokoto went missing on May 2 while visiting his cousin Onalenna Sedietso in Tlapeng village near Morokweng in Ganyesa.

Provincial police spokesman Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said three people have been arrested for his murder.

Mokoto's car was found burnt in the bushes a few days after he disappeared, but with no traces of his body.

His disappearance sparked an alleged revenge killing of the son of Onalenna, who was accused of knowing Mokoto's whereabouts.

The family feud led to the death of Okame Sediatso, who was also burnt to death by unknown people.

Yesterday, Onalenna said the killings were painful.

She confirmed one of the three suspects arrested was her son. "I wish one day I would wake up and be told that this was a big nightmare, I cannot believe that my son killed his cousin."

She said she was shocked to hear about Mokoto.

Mokgwabone said no one was arrested in connection with the murder of Okame.

Mokgwabone said the suspects aged 28, 29 and 38 had already made their first appearance in court on May 26.
