Alleged Clermont child kidnapper, killer caught
Police have caught up with the man alleged to have kidnapped and killed his ex- girlfriend's 11-year-old son in Clermont.
Sphesihle Phewa went missing two weeks ago after his mother broke up with the suspect.
The boy's decomposing body was found on Tuesday by a scrap metal collector at a dumping site in KwaDabeka.
