The boy had not been found since last Saturday, family members said. His body was hanging from a tree when it was found by passers-by. According to witnesses including those close to him, he had injuries on his head and neck.
“Sounds like murder,” they say.
According to another witness, the knees touched the ground, which rules out suicide, according to him. A suspect was arrested the same day. He is part of the family of the young boy found dead.
