Johannesburg - A 4-year-old boy died in Gahlahla Village, north of Polokwane, on Sunday after his father allegedly slashed open his stomach with a knife before repeatedly stabbing him.

Limpopo police spokesperson Mothemane Malefo said the 31-year-old father went to the village at about 07:00.

"He asked his girlfriend, who is the boy's mother, to come and sleep over.

"When the woman refused, he allegedly threatened to kill her."

Malefo said the man went home, where the boy was sleeping with his grandfather and asked for the child.

"The grandfather gave the boy to him without any suspicion. The dad then took his son outside, ripped open his stomach with a knife and stabbed him several times all over the body," said Malefo.

"He took the body and dumped it at the gate of an uncle's house". He then woke his uncle to tell him he'd killed his son.

He was arrested soon after that.
