Detectives take in 4 people for questioning in Joshlin Smith disappearance case

Western Cape detectives are currently questioning four people in connection with the disappearance of six-year-old Joshlin Smith from Saldanha Bay.

Brigadier Novela Potelwa says the investigation team visited several places across the West Coast town, and several other individuals were also questioned.

‘The search for Joslin brought individuals, NGOs, community activists, police officials, neighbourhood watches and representatives from different spheres of government together in the quest to find the missing girl,’ a statement from the Office of the Provincial Commissioner reads.

‘For days they searched [and] identified vast areas in Saldanha Bay. It is envisaged that as the investigation unfolds light will be shed as to her whereabouts or what happened to her.’

The South African Police Service did not reveal the names of the four people who are being questioned. The two men and two women are aged between 26 and 34.
