Another story of murder...

 

Cape Town - A man has been arrested following the murder of an eight-year-old girl and the stabbing and wounding of her sister in Grabouw on Saturday morning, Western Cape police said.

The sisters were sleeping in their aunt's home, in the Makhaza settlement, when a neighbour entered through a window shortly after 3am, Warrant Officer November Filander said.

The younger sibling was stabbed to death. Her 12-year-old sister escaped with multiple wounds.

“It is believed the children were placed in the care of their 28-year-old aunt, who was drinking at a neighbour's house across the road at the time of the incident.”
