Body of girl, 4, 'cut into small pieces and thrown in field' by man, 30, who offered her sweets' | The Sun

THE body of a little girl was horrifically found cut into small pieces and littered across a field after a man allegedly lured her away with sweets.

Bokgabo Poo, 4, disappeared from her family home in Ekurhuleni, South Africa, on October 10.



Ntokozo Zikhali, 30, was seen offering the youngster sweets outside the property in Wattville Township shortly before she vanished.

Less than a day later, Bokgabo's mutilated body was found chopped into pieces and strewn across a nearby field.

A 63-year-old woman noticed the remains after noticing toes sticking out of the ground while she was cleaning the area.

She alerted cops who later confirmed the butchered body belonged to the tragic four-year-old.

Police then arrested Zikhali on Friday after receiving reports he had been seen coaxing Bokgabo from her home.

Lieutenant Colonel Masondo said: "He is reported to be the last person to be seen with missing Bokgabo Poo."

The 30-year-old's face was splashed across posters after a huge manhunt was launched by locals and authorities.

He was apprehended at a petrol station in Boksburg after an employee spotted him and notified police, according to reports.

He has now been charged with kidnapping, rape, murder, defeating the ends of justice, and violating a corpse.

The 30-year-old alleged killer appeared in the dock for the first time on Monday following his arrest.

Magistrate Leonie Sheppard told him that if he was convicted of the charges, the minimum sentence was life imprisonment. 

Bokgabo's grieving father Irvin Ndlovu told local media that his family have been left "heartbroken".

He had to be held back by officers at Benoni Magistrate's Court after lunging at Zikhali shouting: "You killed my daughter, you killed my daughter!"

The altercation, which later went viral online, briefly halted proceedings.
