A 15-year-old relative of a murdered KwaMashu girl Satisfied Mhlongo has been arrested in connection with his brutal murder.
The body of the four-year-old girl was discovered with multiple stab wounds last week.
Police spokeswoman Brig Jay Naicker said Sanelisiwe was allegedly left in the care of a relative while her mother was at work. “When her mother returned home, they informed her that the girl had disappeared and was nowhere to be found.”
Naicker said the girl’s beaten body was found last Thursday in the bushes near her home in Section M.
“He had stab wounds to his body and a head wound,” Naicker said. “A murder case was opened at the Ntuzuma police station for investigation and the police have worked tirelessly to bring justice to the girl.
“Yesterday afternoon, the investigation team made a breakthrough when they arrested a 15-year-old relative for the murder and recovered a weapon that was allegedly used to commit the crime.”
The 15-year-old is expected to appear in court on Thursday.
