Farm workers toiling in sugar cane fields in Esenembe, KwaZulu-Natal, on Wednesday made a grim discovery when they came across the body of an 80-year-old woman.

One Stop Security received information which prompted the company to dispatch a team.

Upon arrival, response officers  met the owner of the property near the field who said  that the body had  been discovered lying prone (face down) in the cane field.

A blue overall jacket was found near the scene.

Police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda confirmed the incident.
