Gauteng Premier, Panyaza Lesufi and Gauteng Safety and Security MEC, Faith Mazibuko, are expected to visit the family four-year-old Bokgabo Poo from Wattville, Ekurhuleni, who was found murdered in Tamboville last week.

The child was reported missing on Monday last week and according to the provincial government, a “massive search” by both the police and the community was launched.

“On Tuesday… the leg of a child was discovered in a shallow grave in the yard of a house in Tamboville, followed by a mutilated body being discovered a few metres away from the house.

“A multi-disciplinary team comprising the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit, forensic experts, Occult Related Crimes Unit and local detectives led to the arrest of a 30-year-old male suspect in Boksburg North on Friday,” the provincial government said.

The man is expected to appear at the Benoni Magistrate’s Court today on charges of kidnapping and murder.
