Gauteng police have made significant progress in the case of the tragic shooting and killing of five-year-old Ditebogo Junior Phalane.
The provincial commissioner, Lt-General Tommy Mthombeni, announced the arrest of two suspects during a media briefing in Soshanguve, north of Tshwane. The apprehension of these suspects marks a significant breakthrough in the ongoing investigation.
The relentless efforts of the police force led to the successful apprehension of the two suspects at specific addresses in Soshanguve.

One of the suspects was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm at a house, while the other suspect was located not far from the crime scene. Furthermore, the police also seized an unlicensed firearm that has been linked to a car hijacking incident in 2023 in Akasia.
Despite these developments, the authorities are actively pursuing a third suspect who had fled the location by the time of their arrival.
The heartbreaking incident unfolded when Junior was shot and killed last Friday while he was running to welcome his father. The father had just arrived home when the perpetrators of the crime launched their attack.
