The boy, Siphosihle Dladla’s body, was found dumped close to the railway line in the Hlongwane Section in Katlehong on August 17, this year.
Captain Piet Rossouw from the Vosloorus SAPS says Siphosihle was apparently beaten to death and his body had cigarette burns on his stomach.
“We are asking the public for help in tracking down Bongani Dladla and his girlfriend Sindy,” appeals Rossouw.
Bongani is described as a black male, light in complexion and has black spots on his face.
He used to stay in Holomisa, Boksburg, with Sipho’s mother and grandmother, before he relocated to Thokoza Hostel.
If you know of his whereabouts, contact W/O Polane Mokadi of Katlehong SAPS on 083 551 5057.
“It appear as if Sipho’s murderers killed him somewhere else before they dressed him in new clothes and then carried his body to where he was found dead.”
