    A young woman's body was found in her boyfriend's house after the neighbours rushed to investigate smoke coming out of the windows. The 19-year-old woman was found dead at her boyfriend's house in Transit Camp in the early hours of Sunday morning. 
    The couple was at a nearby shebeen the previous night, and according to the police report, a witness said that after a man at the shebeen commented that the woman looked beautiful, the couple went back to the boyfriend's house.
     
    According to Grahamstown police spokesperson Captain Mali Govender, neighbours heard the girlfriend crying and went to the house to see hat was going on. The door had been locked, however and so they left. Just before daybreak on Sunday morning the neighbours noticed smoke coming from the house and when they went to investigate, they found a couch on fire, said Govender. After putting out the blaze, they found the woman on a bed inside with wounds on her body. 
     
    Govender said the police are investigating a case of murder, and although no arrests have been made, police are looking for the dead woman's  boyfriend. A post mortem will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
