A SUSPECT has been identified and is wanted for questioning in connection with the death of the two-year-old boy who was found on the train tracks under Rivett-Carnett Street.

Detectives investigating the matter on an inquest spoke to two friends, aged 29 and 30, of the ex-boyfriend. The two friends claimed to the police the suspect confirmed to them he had killed the boy.
According to Mvelase, the mother of the deceased told police she does not know why the suspect would do this as they had not had an argument.
