Man arrested after abducted toddler's body found in river DFANEWSPAPER
Kimberley - The body of the toddler who went missing almost a week ago was found in the Vaal River near Delportshoop on Thursday following a joint search involving community members and the police. It is believed that her body was dumped in a bag and then thrown into the river. A stone had been tied to her body.
They believe that the girl’s abductor knew the steep, rocky terrain leading up to the river very well. “The toddler would never have been able to navigate her way there in the dark.” The father added that he had taken the week off from work in order to join in the search. “I have not slept a wink since I arrived in Delportshoop. I have a contract job in Ulco and I will only return after the funeral.”She stated that she was frantic when she realised that her child had been taken from the bedroom.
“They made a gruesome discovery of the body of a two-year-old girl in the Vaal River today at 12.50pm. A stone was tightened around the toddler’s body that was found submerged under water,” said Tawana.
