Mpumalanga police are looking for unknown persons who killed an 11- year-old girl from Embalenhle.
On May 7 the minor was sent to a nearby shop by her mother but never came back. Her worried family then went to search for her. When they could not find her, the matter was reported to SAPS.
“An inquiry of a missing person was opened and a search team consisting of detectives, K9 unit and divers, was assembled immediately. The search continued until late on Tuesday May 8 where the team searched the area including a river nearby, with no success,” explained Brig Leonard Hlathi.
