Two Nigerians accused of a social media sextortion that led an Australian boy to commit suicide purported to be a "scantily-clad" white woman, police say.
The alleged scammers, found in a Nigerian slum, were charged with sextortion offences in March after a joint investigation between Australian, South African and Nigerian authorities.
The Australian victim, whose parents do not want to be identified, took his life in 2023 after he shared personal photos with the scammers, who pretended to be a European-looking woman, police allege.
