Muti attacker not yet under arrest

May 17, 2012 | Sapa, The Witness | 16 comments

A man who allegedly mutilated a baby girl for muti has still not been arrested eight months after the assault

The 9-month-old was allegedly sold for R300 to her attacker in Matatiele, in the Eastern Cape, in September last year, The Witness says.

He sliced off parts of her face and two fingers from her left hand.

He wrapped her in blankets and set her alight.

Another child heard her crying and called for help. She survived.

According to The Witness the toddler’s mother had been admitted to the Santa Tuberculosis Hospital before the attack, and had left her daughter in the care of a relative.

The child’s father was away on work.

A relative allegedly sold her to her boyfriend, who mutilated the child.

Matatiele police spokesman Raphael Motloung said a case of attempted murder was being investigated and no arrests had been made yet.

What are the cops waiting for? Are they waiting for the community to go 'barbaric' on these people so they can lock them up instead? Give me their names and I'll go sort it out if the cops won't.

this is a worlwide belief
have you ever seen a case involving this kind of act ever been solved
evil spirit makes us belive that human body parts is a secret to powerful posisions and having money and once you do it, (using or beliving it what the evil sangoma told you) the evil spirit will support you once that happen

people who are on high possisions will act like they are against it, at night here they become busy

every1 will pay on when his time comes
