Man arrested in Durban after 13 year old boy found beheaded

Mbazwana SAPS is investigating a case of murder after a 13 year old boy was found in the bush beheaded and his body partially burnt.

Thobani Khambule was last seen on 28 May 2022 and his body was discovered the next day in the bush.

Police officers from Mbazwana worked around the clock to identify and apprehend the perpetrator.

On Tuesday, a 29-year-old man was taken in for questioning after police received reports that he was the last person to be seen with the victim.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Nqobile Gwala, following this development in the investigation, police proceeded to an old abandoned house where the head of the victim was found in a pit toilet. A bush knife that was used during the killing was also found by police.

“The motive for the killing remains unclear and the investigation is continuing. The suspect will appear before the Mbazwana Periodical Court tomorrow on a charge of murder,” said Lieutenant Gwala

“This is heart-breaking to learn about the killing of an innocent child in such a brutal manner as we are celebrating the Child Protection Week. We are appealing to communities to play a more vital role in protecting our children.”

Any form of abuse directed to any child in our society should immediately be reported to the police or social workers.
