Polokwane - A four-year-old boy was killed and a six year-old girl was raped in Lebowa-Kgomo, near Polokwane, Limpopo police said on Sunday.
Captain Mamphaswa Seabi said the children - who were not related - had been at a local spaza shop a few blocks away from their homes around 18:00 on Saturday when the attacks took place.
"[They] were taken by an unknown man into bushes nearby where he started sexually assaulting the girl.
"When the boy cried out the man slit his throat and disappeared," said Seabi.
He said the girl ran out of the bushes crying, disorientated and covered in blood when she was noticed by people walking in the area.
Seabi said because the girl was disorientated she was not able to give the exact location of the boy.
While searching for the attacker, police and community members found the boy's body later on Saturday night.
The girl was taken to hospital were she was attended to by social workers and doctors.
Police were still searching for the attacker on Sunday.
