A five-year-old girl was found dead beneath a pile of rubble in Diepsloot, northern Johannesburg, on Monday, police said.
She was discovered by refuse collecters. Details remain sketchy, EWN said.
The girl was only wearing a t-shirt and underwear. Women from the neighbourhood ganged up and were moving from dwelling to dwelling looking for the murderer as they had found a used condom near the body.
She was thought to have been suffocated with a plastic bag, said Colonel Lungelo Dlamini.
“She was found by community members in extension five,” he said.
The girl went missing on Saturday. – Sapa
