What happened Moments before Andile Bobo Mchunu was beaten to death
The nation has been gripped by events that led to the untimely death of 16-year-old Andile Mchunu, also known as Bobo. After video footage was leaked online, people called for #JusticeForBobo and the community where Andile lived wanted to met mob justice on the perpetrators.
Here is a timeline of events that led to the discovery of mortal remains suspected to be that of murdered teenager Andile Mchunu (pictured below). The remains were recovered by Police dumped in the Wewe River in Sandfields – Tongaat today (Friday).
Andile was reported missing by his family nearly two weeks ago after he was kidnapped by a group of men who accused him of stealing alcohol from a tavern in Hambanathi, Tongaat. The men led the teenager back to the tavern where he was severely assaulted.
His family received information on the assault and proceeded to the tavern where they found the boy lying next to a pool of blood. They were asked by the suspects to get a fresh set of clothing and a vehicle to transport him to the hospital. The family left and when they returned they were informed that Andile had escaped. He could not be located since.
This week, video footage showing a severely injured boy (Andile) lying in an empty room was leaked online. A baseball bat, whips and sticks were seen on the floor. The producer of the video could be seen taunting the teenager in the video.
Andile’s family was tracked through a missing person poster. They confirmed that it was Andile in the video and believed that he had succumbed to his injuries and in an attempt to cover up the murder his attackers dumped his body.
Police and residents of Hambanathi formalized a search team. Bushes and river banks were searched for several days without success. On Friday morning (08 May 2020) human remains were discovered along Wewe River. The remains were sent for analysis and it is yet to be confirmed if it is Andile. Family and members of the community gathered at the scene and wept uncontrollably while Police Search and Rescue retrieved the body.
