The body of six-year-old Zimbabwean pupil, Alexia
Nyamadzawo has been found in a sugarcane field in north of Durban, South
Africa.
Police spokesperson Brig Jay Naicker confirmed the body of
the Grade 1 pupil had been located by members of the SA Police Service K9
Search and Rescue Unit on Tuesday.
Naicker said this follows the arrest of a 42-year-old woman
in connection with Alexia's disappearance. It is understood the arrested woman was known
to Alexia.
"On the evening of 31 May 2020, police at Umhlali
received a report about the kidnapping of a six-year-old child. The mother of
the child reported that she was travelling on Glendale Road near Shayamoya with
her two children, aged six and 14, when the kidnapping occurred."
The mother said when she approached a speed hump near
Shayamoya, an unknown man opened the door of her vehicle and snatched the
six-year-old, who was asleep on the rear seat.
"She fled from the scene and reported the incident to
the police. After an intensive investigation, a 42-year-old woman was taken in
for questioning by police yesterday (Monday)."
