Girl (2) raped in Free State

A two-year-old baby was raped in the Free State township of Hlohlowane, police said on Monday.

The child’s injuries were discovered by her grandmother, who saw blood stains on her clothes when she bathed her.

The rape apparently happened on Friday.

The identity of the rapist, and where the incident happened, are not known. ‒ Sapa
