A woman charged with the murder of a five-year-old boy was allegedly testing the gun inside her yard when a shot went off and a bullet struck the child.
This is according to neighbours who rushed to the scene of tragedy where little Obakeng Minyuku lay bleeding in Temba, Hammanskraal, north Pretoria on Satuday.
Neighbours who spoke to Sowetan yesterday said Tselane Lebogang Mautla, the woman who has been charged with the Grade R boys murder, was apparently showing the gun to friends when it went off.
