She was raped before being killed, spokesman Brigadier Leonard Hlathi said.

“She accompanied her elderly sister to a local hair salon during the day of the Wednesday of 7 November.

“She allegedly left her sister and went home after she complained of being hungry but never reached home,” Hlathi said.
