Around midnight they dropped the 31-year-old man off in the Harare area of the Khayelitsha informal settlement.
"After seeking the assistance of a passing motorist, he was taken to Harare police station unharmed."
Following a search the hijacked car, a Volkswagen Sharan, was found in Lingelethu West. The body of the 28-year-old woman was on the back seat.
Traut would not comment on how she was killed, saying an autopsy would first be conducted. He would also not disclose their names or where in they UK they were from. They arrived in Cape Town last Thursday.
The two men were still at large. Anyone who could help police catch them was asked to contact the investigating officer, Colonel Riaan Theron on 082-463-8706, or Crime Stop on 08600-10111.
