The Local Department of Community Safety has confirmed that the body of the youth who went missing off Strandfontein beach has washed ashore, with a bite wound to his one leg.
Jenovian Godwin’s body was found floating 500 metres away from the National Sea Rescue Institute base. This was where the 13-year-old was last seen swimming with his brother and two friends on Sunday.
It is believed that a shark might have bitten Godwin on his leg. According to reports his parents were told that their son’s body had been recovered.
During beach patrols yesterday morning a boy pointed out that he had seen a body floating in the water. Volunteers searched the area again and a few hours later his body washed up.
Police spokesperson Alfonso Benjamin, says Roseline and Cyril Goodwin identified their son by a sock he was wearing on one of his feet.
