Suspect castrated, killed after alleged gang rape of teen girls in Joburg
JOHANNESBURG - A man was castrated and beaten to death, allegedly by community members, following a gang rape of two girls, aged 14 and 18, by three men at an informal settlement in Ivory Park in MIdrand, Johannesburg late on Saturday night, Gauteng police said.
A murder case had been opened in connection with the death of the alleged rapist, but no arrests had yet been made, he said. ''A member of the public who saw the incident alerted the community who came out and confronted the alleged rapists. Two of the suspects managed to escape and the other was caught and allegedly killed by members of the community at the scene,'' Dlamini said.
''It is alleged that the victim was accompanying schoolgirls from Orange Farm and the boys from Soweto came to the park and harassed the girls. As the victim was trying to protect the girls, he was assaulted and died from a stab wound to his chest,'' Dlamini said.
