It has been exactly a week since the Nqobizitha Zulu and Tshiamo Amogelang Rabanye were reported missing, and police seem to be a step closer at granting their families justice. This is as two suspects have been arrested for their murders and are expected in the dock on Friday.

A 50-year-old woman and her 39-year old partner were arrested on Tuesday almost a week since the tragedy that hit Soweto last week.

The bodies of the two boys were found mutilated in White City and Rockville, following a community search a day after being reported missing.
