The skeletal remains of an infant child were found in a bush on Hilltop Drive in Tea Estate, Inanda, KZN, yesterday morning.

Prem Balram, the spokesperson for Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa), says the discovery was made by children playing near an informal area.

“They informed their parents, who contacted Rusa for assistance.”

He says when Rusa officers arrived in the area, they were led several metres on an unpaved pathway.

“Reaction officers were directed to a bush where the location of the skull was pointed out. A packet that was tied was recovered near the skull. Several bones were located in the packet.”

Balram adds that the scene was handed over to the SAPS for further investigation.
