“According to information available at this stage, reports suggest that the victims, who are both from extension 38, were in the company of another boy when the suspects lured the victims to their car with chips. The suspects then allegedly grabbed and put the boys inside the boot of the vehicle and drove off with them. The children were never seen since then,” police said at the time.
Dingoko said the motive for their apparent abduction was unknown.
Both the boys were pupils at Podile Primary School in Ramosadi village.
