Father found guilty of raping his baby sentenced today


 A man found guilty of raping, assaulting, and causing the death of his 10-month-old baby girl is expected to be sentenced in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court on Monday.

Adriaan Netto and his partner were found guilty of the culpable homicide, rape, and abuse of their baby on September 18.

The woman may not be named to protect the identities of their other children.

According to a post mortem, the toddler had been significantly underweight and had numerous injuries.

She had fractured ribs, abrasions on her vagina and face, bruising on her abdomen, and a lacerated lung filled with blood.
