Teen arrested for raping and killing a child


A 17-year-old suspect was arrested for the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Kwazulu Natal.

Police say the teenager was arrested on Wednesday.

His arrest follows the discovery of the body of 11-year-old Amanda Mthembu in a sugar-cane field in Dokodweni Reserve.

Mthembu went missing on the 14th of June and her body was discovered ten days later.

She had allegedly been strangled and was found naked.

A police spokesperson says the teenage suspect will face charges of rape and murder when he appears in the Mtuzini Magistrate's Court on Friday.
