Police found the naked body of the young girl about 100 metres from the man’s shack.
The provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Donald Mdhluli said the suspect fled the scene after allegedly killing the girl.
“According to a report, the girl's mother was in search of her daughter but without any success, hence she reported her disappearance to the police. During the reporting, the woman informed the police that she suspects that her sister's male companion could know something about her daughter's sudden disappearance. She further explained that before her child went missing, the girl was last seen with the man in question,” Mdhuli said.
Police immediately went to the farm where the man lived to investigate and look for him, but he had already left. “The astute members somehow managed to get inside his shack. It was during this period when the men and women in blue noticed some blood stains inside the shack, then as they continued searching, about 100 metres away from the shack, they discovered the naked body of the child with some stab wounds. The little girl was unfortunately certified dead by the medical personnel at the scene. The preliminary investigation suggests that the girl could have been raped by the suspect,” Mdhuli said.
Anyone with information that may assist in apprehending the suspect is urged to call the Crime Stop number at 08600 10111 or send information via My SAPS App. All information received will be treated as confidential and callers may opt to remain anonymous.‘Completely illogical’: Zuma’s attorney refuses to go ahead with pre-trial as they challenge the issue of Downer’s recusal
