Johannesburg - A 20-year-old man was arrested in connection with the rape and killing of a four-year-old girl in Kakamas near Upington, Northern Cape police said on Friday.
Spokesperson Inspector Batsile Wolfe said police believed the girl was raped and killed elsewhere, before being dumped in a veld two kilometres from her Langverwag home two weeks ago.
Wolfe said the girl was bleeding from her nose and mouth, which indicated internal bleeding.
She was also bleeding from her private parts which led police to suspect that the girl was raped before being killed.
Wolfe said the suspect would appear in the Kakamas magistrate's court on Monday.
