Infant raped, killed in E Cape

Eastern Cape police are investigating the murder of a five-month-old baby after a post mortem revealed that she was raped and "severely abused", a spokesman said on Wednesday. "An inquest docket was opened when she died on February 12, but a post mortem revealed yesterday that she had been raped and severely abused," said Inspector Wena Theron. The post mortem also revealed that the girl, who lived with her parents on the farm where they worked about 60km from Aberdeen, had three broken ribs. "Her mother woke the farmer at 3am last Friday saying the baby was coughing, but when the ambulance arrived at the farm, the baby was already dead," said Theron.

No arrests had been made.
