4-YEAR-OLD RAPED

A FOUR-year-old girl was raped at Mandileni village in Mount Frere in Umtata on Sunday night, Eastern Cape police said on Monday. Superintendent Nondumiso Jafta said it was not clear how the incident occurred or whether the victim was alone at the time. ”All I can say at this stage is that the child was apparently threatened with a knife before being raped by the suspect,” Jafta said. – Sapa
