Body of a child, around five years old, found hanging from a tree near a school in KZN

A child’s body who was believed to be around five years old was discovered hanging from a tree close to a school.

The child’s body was discovered on July 3 in Ntuzuma’s G Section. The South African Police Service (SAPS) in Ntuzuma is currently looking for the child’s family or any close relatives.

According to media accounts, the child’s body was in a decomposing state. Only until an autopsy has been performed will certain details about the child, such as the gender, be known.

At the Ntuzuma police station, according to KZN SAPS spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Nqobile Gwala, an inquest docket has been opened for investigation.

Gwala said: “The circumstances surrounding the incident are being investigated”.

Anyone with information about the child’s family or relatives is urged to call Crime Stop at 08600 10111 or Sergeant Mbhele at 072 678 6924, according to the SAPS. On the MySAPS app, information can also be given anonymously.
