Welkom - The badly mutilated body of a 3-year-old toddler was found on Saturday, just hours after she was reported missing to Thabong police, a Free State police spokesperson said.
The little girl, Onele Galata, went missing on Christmas day and was reported missing on Saturday morning, said Inspector Malebo Khosana.
"She was found dead at B-Hostel in Masole Street at noon today [Saturday]. She had multiple stab wounds to her right eye, right side of the mouth, over the left ear, chin, neck, right ribs and middle chest," said Khosana.
The girl's private parts were also removed. "The intestines were also protruding out of her body."
Her body was taken to the Welkom State Mortuary.
No arrests were made, said Khosana.
Anyone with information that could assist with arresting the toddler's murderer was urged to contact Superintendent Kedibone Gopane on 082-442-1372 or 086-001-0111.
