LAST PERSON SEEN WITH THE CHILD

A neighbour who wished not to be named told ZiMoja that Nomusa was kidnapped and later found dead. "The police failed that family because the husband was arrested and later released after there was lack of evidence from the cops' side. The neighbour is alleged to be the last person to be seen with the youngster," the neighbour said.

MOB JUSTICE

It is alleged that the angry mob attacked the husband who is 57 and the wife (51) and their son (32) on Friday night. "The community was angry that the neighbour was released from when there are witnesses who saw him with the child. They decided to torch his house and his car before beating the husband and the wife to death. It was a horrible scene and we stood there and watched the angry mob beat them to death. They killed their son who was 32 years old. Other children managed to escape and ran for their lives,"the neighbour said. The neighbour further said, "What angered the community is that Nomusa was found dead in their toilet."
