SA Police Service (SAPS) have confirmed that the bodies of two boys who were reported missing have been found murdered in Soweto.
The mutilated bodies of the two boys, aged five and six, were found in Rockville on Thursday morning.
The bodies were discovered by community members who alerted the police.
Gauteng police commissioner Elias Mawela says the two boys were reported missing on Wednesday.
“At about 6pm, one parent started looking for his child and could not find him. He called the other parent to look for the children. However, they could not find them.
“They started doing the search on their own and when they saw they could not find them, they went to Moroka Police Station to report the children missing, Mawela said.
Mawela said various units of the police were mobilised to look for the children.
“Unfortunately, this morning, the children were found killed and their bodies mutilated. So, investigations are continuing.
Mawela has urged anyone with information relating to the case to contact the police.
