Body of missing Tazne found in stormwater pipe


The body of an 8-year-old girl who went missing two weeks ago has been found.

Tazne van Wyk's body was discovered in a stormwater pipe outside Worcester on Wednesday evening.

She disappeared from Ravensmead in Cape Town on the 7th of February and was last seen with 54-year-old Moehydien Pangaker who was arrested in Cradock on Monday night.

According to police Pangaker made a brief appearance in court on Wednesday on a charge of kidnapping before being transported to Cape Town.

Detectives continued interviewing Pangaker who eventually pointed out to police where Tazne's body was.

He will now be charged with murder and is expected to appear in the Goodwood Magistrate's Court on Friday.

Police say more charges could be added as the investigation continues.
