JOHANNESBURG: South African cricketer of Indian origin has been beheaded in a ritual sacrifice, prompting police to start an investigation and arrested three persons, including his best friend, in connection with the murder.
According to details, Police has told media that Nawaz Khan, 23, was allegedly lured by his best friend Thandowakhe Duma, 21, and a traditional healer to a forest near his home, where he was attacked with a bush knife and beheaded.
His friend Duma was charged with murder after he led the police team to the site of the beheading at the weekend after confessing that a traditional healer had requested him to bring along a human head to address problems that he was facing.
Police also lauded the actions of the community at a housing settlement in the coastal town of Umzinto, who helped nab the traditional healer after he went on the run following the investigation.
Nawaz’s mother, Zakia Khan, said: “He was thrilled when he received his award from his ideal, Hashim Amla, calling it the happiest day of his life.” She added that her son could not read or write but had excelled in sport despite being mocked about his disability.
Albert Warnick, spokesman for the South Africa Sports Association for the Intellectually Impaired, told media here that Khan had been looking forward to going overseas with his cricket team.
