'On Saturday it was her birthday, so I bought two cakes and we went to the place where her body was found...' YoliswaSobuwa

Her grandmother Lynette Jansen, 53, who raised her after her mother passed away, said the burden was heavy for the family.

"On Saturday it was her birthday, so I bought two cakes and we went to the place where her body was found. One cake fell down and there was no wind. Maybe she is calling out to me. I wish she can give us a clue as to who did this horrible thing to her." Leticia's half-naked body was discovered by her family dog on Friday in an open veld not far from home."We are still trying to come to terms with her death. We could not afford to give her the funeral she deserves and we were very lucky that EFF Ekurhuleni stepped in and arranged for my daughter to get a decent funeral," Jansen said.
