rape and murder of two toddlers, who also happen to
be cousins.
The girls, aged two and three, were kidnapped from their
home in South Africa in broad daylight.
The incident reportedly took place on the 15th of
October.
Days later, the girls who were identified as Yonelisa and
Zandile Mali, were found dead in a public toilet in
Diepsloot, north of Johannesburg.
A suspect who was arrested in connection to the crime has
confessed. A spokesman for prosecutors said the man, in his
late twenties, had appeared in court on two counts of
murder, kidnapping and rape respectively. The man was
arrested on Friday 18th October
The man was detained after the arrest of four suspected
accomplices. They have not confessed. All five, aged
between 29 and 47, lived in Diepsloot and will appear in
court on Thursday.
Diepsloot residents went on the rampage after the murders,
blocking roads with burning tires and pelting police with
rocks. Some of the residents gathered outside a police
station demanding that a suspect be handed over for
vigilante justice.
