Life imprisonment for raping child (3)

The Empangeni Regional Court sentenced Velenkosini Myeni (32) to life imprisonment for rape. In December 2015 a three year old victim was playing outside her homestead with her friends when she was called by her neighbour, Myeni to walk with her to the bushes.

While he was raping her in the bushes, a 15 year old boy who was coming from the grazing veld heard the child screaming in the bushes. He went towards the screaming direction to investigate and found the suspect allegedly raping the child.

He immediately called his elders who came for assistance. The suspect was caught and handed over to the local police where he was charged for rape.
