Sowetan published the story on Monday after neighbours of the mother in Diepkloof, Soweto, revealed how the teen mother's boyfriend, who is not the biological father of the deceased child, had allegedly repeatedly abused and raped the child before she died at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Soweto on Thursday.
Police spokesperson Brig Mathapelo Peters said the teen mother and her boyfriend are expected to appear in the Protea magistrate's court on Wednesday following their arrest on Tuesday. Peters said on Monday last week, members of the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences specialised unit were summoned by a medical practitioner from Baragwanath Hospital, alerting the police of the rape of three-year-old child who had been assaulted and brought in for medical attention.
