A 47-year-old man was arrested and detained yesterday (Wednesday 21 June) for the murder of an eight-year-old boy in Peerless Park North, Kraaifontein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The boy was found dead in a bed at a friend\u2019s home in Drostdy Street during a sleepover, according to provincial police spokesperson Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to available information, one of the adults when getting up at night to use the bathroom noticed the child was not breathing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time, a death inquest was opened, and evidence was collected from the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this week, police were still awaiting the results of the post-mortem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis office can now confirm that Kraaifontein police arrested and detained a 47-year-old male on a charge of murder,\u201d Swartbooi confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis office will not divulge the finer aspects of the case at this stage as it forms part of an investigation\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspect will appear on a charge of murder in the Blue Downs Magistrate court tomorrow (Friday 23 June). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The investigation into the circumstances will be conducted by the Kraaifontein family violence, child protection and sexual offences unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
