Barbaric South African!

White man with a rifle poses over the apparently lifeless body of a black child - like a hunter celebrating his kill.

This is the Facebook picture that has sparked a police investigation. The police are asking members of the public who can identify the man in this picture - which may have been manipulated - to come forward to assist them in their investigation. We have obscured the child's face to protect his identity, but child advocacy groups are concerned about the youngster's well being.
