The search for a one-year-old boy, who disappeared in the New Rest area of Kareedouw on Friday, ended tragically after his body was found in a drain on Saturday morning.
Police spokesman Capt.Mali Govender said 1-year-old Viron Pantry was reported missing by his mother shortly after 5 p.m.
“The community and the local SAPS conducted a search. The team searched until sunset with no positive results. At first light this morning, SAPS and members of the local community continued their search. “
However, the search was suspended on Saturday after his body was found in a drain not far from where he disappeared, he said.
Govender said Viron and his mother, who are from Mountainview, a residential area a few miles away, went to visit friends on Friday.
“Viron played with five others between two and three years old.
“At around 5pm, the mother and her friends went to check on the children and noticed that Viron was not among them. The other children were unable to help with the whereabouts of the child,” Govender said.
An inquiry file for investigation has been opened.
