Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The body of a three-year-old girl has been found dumped in bushes outside Groblersdal in Limpopo. Police have launched a manhunt for the person behind the toddler’s murder.<\/p>\n

Free State man gets life in jail for killing 3-year-old son to spite the child’s mom<\/p>\n

The child’s family and residents had been frantically searching for her after she went missing in Moganyaka village on Saturday, said police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo.<\/p>\n

“Boithekgo Chauke was reported missing on Saturday after she reportedly disappeared while playing with other children in a neighbour’s yard. The police, assisted by community members, commenced a search operation. The K9 Unit and Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit [also joined the search],” said Mojapelo.<\/p>\n

Later that day, police made the gruesome discovery.<\/p>\n

Mojapelo said:<\/p>\n

A case of murder has been opened. The motive is unknown.<\/p>\n

Police have called for help in finding the perpetrator.<\/p>\n

“Anyone with information that can lead to the apprehension of the suspects involved in this matter is requested to contact the investigating officer Sergeant Frans Chego on 076 460 1147, the Crime Stop number 08600 10111 or the nearest police station,” said Mojapelo.<\/p>\n
