POLICE were on Monday investigating the possibility that the nine-year-old girl, whose body was found in a field at Kraaifontein near Cape Town earlier in the afternoon, had been raped. Policeman Wickus Holtzhausen, said the body was discovered in the veld by two bypassers. He said forensic experts were by Monday evening still trying to establish the cause of death, which at that stage was believed to be strangulation. The girl had last been seen by her parents on Saturday evening, but was only reported missing on Sunday afternoon, he said. – Sapa
