Two children died after consuming bread allegedly laced with poison, leaving the community in shock.
The Vosloorus SAPS in Ekurhuleni have not yet charged anyone in connection with the recent deaths of two boys, aged six and eight, at a local clinic after they ate bread a neighbour gave them.
According to the spokesperson for the Vosloorus SAPS, Constable Nompumelelo Nhlapo, shortly after eating the bread, the children fell ill and were rushed to a nearby clinic. “During the initial investigation, the neighbour claimed the children had eaten snacks from a nearby foreign-owned tuckshop before falling ill.
“The police are continuing their investigation into the matter, with potential charges pending,” says Nhlapo.
