A WOMAN and her partner have been arrested for the brutal murders of the two missing Soweto boys who were found mutilated.
The couple was arrested by a team that was established by Gauteng police commissioner Lieutenant-General Elias Mawela, to investigate the murders of Tshiamo Rabanye (6) and Mduduzi Nqobizitha Zulu (5).
Gauteng police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo, said following a forensic investigation at the boys’ homes on Tuesday 25 April, the team brought in a 50-year-old woman and her 39-year-old partner for questioning.

The duo has since been charged with murder and will appear in the Protea Magistrates Court on Friday, 28 April.
The boys were reported missing Moroka Police Station on Wednesday night, 19 April.
A search team including search and rescue was activated, but sadly, the boys' bodies were found mutilated the following morning. One was found in White City, while the other was found in Rockville.
Mawela condemned the gruesome murders in the strongest possible terms.
"It is so disheartening and disgraceful to see such little innocent lives being lost in this hideous manner. It cannot be that no one saw or heard nothing. We are appealing to anyone who may have information about this incident to please report to the police," he said.
