South African and global news updates with a twist. 2oceansvibe is South Africa’s biggest solely owned online news platform with local and world news updates.

It's been four months since six-year-old Joshlin Smith vanished from the poverty-stricken Middelpos informal settlement on 19 February. And even though the search has extended as far as the United Kingdom with Interpol’s assistance, with investigators following up on all possible leads, police say they have hit a brick wall in their search. Western Cape police commissioner Thembisile Patekile told EWN “We followed every lead, but we have come to a dead end.

The case has been postponed to 15 July for further investigation. Meanwhile, the police have received the forensic results of the DNA analysis of bloodstained clothes, a knife and a sheet discovered in an open field about a kilometre from Joshlin’s home on 2 March, confirmed senior state advocate Aradhana Heeramun. Investigators are also analysing the info found on the cellphone data downloaded from the four accused.
