Cape Town man arrested in connection with 8-year-old’s death set to appear in court
A suspect arrested in connection with the death of an eight-year-old boy in Kraaifontein is expected to make his first appearance in court on Friday.
The 47-year-old man was arrested on a charge of murder in Peerless Park North, on Wednesday.
According to reports, the boy was found dead at his friend’s home during a sleepover.
The incident occurred earlier this month.
Initially, police reported that no foul play was suspected but police spokesperson Joseph Swartboooi said they are now investigating a case of murder.
“Kraaifontein police arrested and detained a 47-year-old male on a charge of murder in Drostdy Street in Peerless Park North.”
As of a few days ago, postmortem results were still outstanding, however, Swartbooi said the case will be investigated by a specialized unit.
“The investigation into the circumstances will be conducted by Kraaifontein Family Violence, Child Protection, and Sexual Offences unit.”
