The boy's mother told a social worker of an abusive childhood, which contributed to her condoning subsequent violence towards herself and her son.
Paramedics found the child’s body at their home in Naturena, Johannesburg, in June 2016. He had burn wounds on 60% of his body after he had been submerged in boiling bath water. He also had head and chest injuries, and bruising on his arms.
The mother told Botes that the night before Baby Daniel was killed, she and Naidoo argued and he pushed her. The next day, Baby Daniel’s lips were blue. Cloete said she tried to do CPR but the boy was not responsive. Paramedics confirmed that he was brain dead.
