The boy's father, Nantes Nortjé, was charged following his disappearance and found guilty of his murder, although at the time the body had not yet been found.
Free State police on Friday morning confirmed that remains found in Harrismith in 2019 have been identified as those of Liam Nortjé, who went missing while in the care of his father.
The unemployed panel beater ran off with the child after his wife Cheinelle decided to end their 23-year marriage. Nantes was arrested in 2018 following an intense police search. “He was found hiding in an informal settlement in Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal, but the child was not with him,” police said at the time.
