According to police, the incident was preceded by the 16-year- old opening a case of rape against her father at a local police station.
"The horrific incident took place at Malungane village next to Namakgale outside Phalaborwa at about 9pm. The suspect, who was reportedly employed at a Mining Company in Phalaborwa, was being sought by members of the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offenses Unit after his 16- year- old daughter, whom he shot and injured, earlier opened a rape case against him,"he said.
Mojapelo said the 16-year-old allegedly visited her father at Palesa Section, Namakgale on June 13 and asked him to give her driving lessons. "After the driving lessons, they reportedly went to Namakgale complex and then proceeded to the house at Palesa where the rape took place. The victim only opened the rape case on Monday," he said.
The police said the man’s licensed 9mm pistol was found on the scene and has been confiscated by the police. “As the Province is currently fighting the scourge of Gender Based Violence, incidents of this nature, where a man rapes his daughter and then goes on to commit horrendous crimes against the vulnerable members of the society, must be condemned in the strongest possible terms,” said General Ledwaba.
