The family of a murdered eight year old boy believe he would still be alive if police had acted sooner.
Moegamat Yunis Desai went missing two weeks ago and his mother immediately contacted police.
She told them she believed he was with his father, and wanted to open a case of kidnapping.
They allegedly refused to help her until five days later.
The little boy's body was found in bush along Vanguard Drive on Sunday. He had been beaten to death.
His father has been arrested on a charge of kidnapping.
The child's aunt, Manesha Manuel believes the police didn't act quickly enough.
“Police said they can’t arrest father’s child and we must provide his address, which we didn’t have,” she said.
