A spokesperson for the department, Mhlaba Memela said: “The MEC [Nonhlanhla Khoza] has condemned this horrendous act and sent out social workers to provide psychosocial services to the bereaved family,” Memela said.
“He fled with the baby after an argument and family members were concerned that he might hurt the baby because he was angry when he left. They went to report the matter to the police but sadly when they arrived at his shack, he had already killed the baby and buried her in a shallow grave,” he said. “It is alleged that on December 17, at Khululeka Street in Tsakane, an eight-month-old baby girl was killed by a known suspect. A 36-year-old suspect was placed under arrest for murder. He will appear in the Ladysmith magistrate's court tomorrow [Monday]," Gwala said.
Earlier this month, a six-year-old girl was beheaded by a 24-year-old known to the family. It was reported that the suspect had an argument with the child's uncle before she was killed.
