This comes after police received a call from a complaint who requested assistance regarding a father who is assaulting his son badly in Chrisville on August 31 last year. On arrival of SAPS, the child was already taken to South Rand Hospital.
Police was informed that the person who assaulted the child was his father (Boesak) and while questioning people they received information that the child had died.
