A 30-year-old mother found her two-year-old toddler badly injured, allegedly hit with a garden hoe by his eight-year-old brother.
The woman had left the boy’s playing when the incident happened on December 24, in Endocott, Springs.
Police spokesperson Superintendent Andy Pieke says that the injured boy was taken to a hospital by ambulance.
He’s head was stitched up and released immediately.
The boy’s condition got worse a day after the incident and he was re-admitted to hospital, but died four days later.
A case of murder is being investigated, but police handed the case over to the director of public prosecutions (DPP) for a decision to prosecute or not.
Independent Online reports that Pieke could not reveal the name of the two-year-old as the alleged offender is a minor.

What happened to community news?
I find thet quality & originality of the stories of late to be very, very lacking.
It's like every second story is a rework of something as repoted by Independant Online.
Do you sit in the newsroom reading IOL all day? We already read the Argus & co. I turned to the Bush Radio newsroom blog to find stories that are relevant to Cape Town that the big news companies didn't cover now it appears that your are spending more time covering IOL than anything else. http://bushradionews.blogspot.com/search?q=Independent+Online
I await your teams response.
