<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAccording to police spokesperson, Captain Mali Govender, the
\nchild and his mother who are from Mountainview, a residential area a few
\nkilometres away, went to visit friends in New Rest Area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Govender further said Pantry was playing with five other
\nchildren aged between two and three years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
“At approximately 17:00, the mother and her friends
\nwent to check on the children and noticed that Pantry was not among them. The
\nother children were unable to assist on the whereabouts of the child,” said
\nGovender.<\/p>\n
She said a search was conducted by the community and the
\nlocal SAPS until sunset with no positive results.<\/p>\n
Govender said the search continued the following day, but
\nwas called off after Pantry\u2019s body was found in a drain not far from where he
\nwent missing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“An inquest docket has been opened for investigation,” said
\nGovender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
