Two boys aged seven and eight have shockingly admitted to murdering a three-year-old boy in South Africa.
The shocking story which comes after the toddler was reported missing on the town of Gueteng, South Africa, on Saturday afternoon.
According to TimesLive, the two young boys confessed to commiting the crime after the infant’s body was found near a dump 1km from his home on Monday.
It is reported that the two boys tied up the three-year-old with rope and beat him with stones before throwing him off the top of a landfill.
However although the boys confessed to the crime, the dead boy’s father told TimesLive that he doesn’t believe their story is the full story given the way his son was found.
The distraught father told the paper, that he believes that an adult was involved in his son’s death as his body was found inside a sack – adding that there was no way the two small boys would be able to lift him.
It is reported that a wide scale search was launched after the boy went missing whilst playing outside at lunchtime on Saturday.
