Two suspects arrested in connection with the murder of five-year-old Kaithlyn Wilson are expected to appear in the Malmesbury Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
Kaithlyn's tiny body was found in bushes near her home in Riebeek West on Sunday, hours after her grandmother Sophia Wilson reported her missing.
Sophia said she became worried when little Kaithlyn did not return home after playing with friends. She then started looking for the five-year-old and members of the community joined her.
After there was no sign of the child, Sophia said she reported Kaithlyn missing at the police station.
Hours later, members of the community discovered the child's body in nearby bushes. Sophia said her body was covered in white sheets
"Kaithlyn’s head was swollen and when I asked how she died, the police said her eyes and nose were closed with black tape and they stuffed something in her mouth to suffocate her," she told the Cape Argus.
Police spokesperson Noloyiso Rwexana said, "The SAPS management of the Western Cape are deeply concerned and disturbed by the gruesome killing of children in the province. With Women's Month approaching, it reiterated that crime against women and children remain a priority in the SAPS."
