HEAD AND LEGS FOUND IN KZN AFTER DISAPPEARANCE OF A 7- YEAR OLD BOY 

The family of a missing seven-year-old boy fear he was beheaded after the discovery of body parts in the Ntshawini area near KwaDukuza (Stanger), north of Durban.

The legs and head of a corpse were found in a stream and bushes on Sunday afternoon.

KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda said tests are needed to confirm the identity of the victim.

Philasande Shange went missing last Thursday afternoon.

According to the family, the grade 2 pupil was last seen with a neighbour who sent him to a nearby tuck shop. He returned with the onions she had asked him to buy and left, but never made it home.

Ntombi Shange, his aunt, said since it was raining heavily on Thursday, they thought he spent a night at a neighbour’s house or with his extended family. She said they looked for him on Friday and after an unsuccessful search contacted the police.
