The father of missing Benoni toddler Bokgabo Poo on Friday revealed that despite a suspect being arrested in connection with her disappearance, the four-year-old's whereabouts were still unknown.
It was alleged Bokgabo had been playing with a five-year-old boy at the Masoleng Park in the township. The park is near her home. The two were reportedly approached by the suspect, who gave the boy money to buy sweets at a nearby tuck shop while he remained with Bokgabo. CCTV footage taken from a house near the park showed the suspect walking off with Bokgabo. In the video, the youngster was seen frolicking next to the fast-walking man.
While police were processing the scene, they were informed about the body of a child in an open veld, about 800m away from the house where the leg was found.While Ndlovu was certain the decomposed and burnt remains of this child were not Bokgabo, police had subjected him and Bokgabo's mother to a DNA test to confirm this..
