Durban - As a seasoned search and rescue operative, Sergeant Devendran (Collin) Chetty and his canine partner, âGhostâ, have grown accustomed to searching for missing people.
But when Chetty and Ghost stumbled upon nine-year-old Miguel Louwâs corpse on September 3, 2018, the find hit home hard.
Until the discovery, Chetty, like many others, was aware of Louwâs disappearance on July 17, 2018 and clung to the hope of a fairytale ending for the boy and his family.
Instead, he and Ghost found the Sydenham youngster lying lifeless on his back with his jacket and shirt pulled over his face, in a bushy area off Longbury Drive, Phoenix, north of Durban.
