An elderly Eastern Cape woman and her two granddaughters who were reported missing in Tsomo earlier this month have been found murdered, said provincial police.
The 19-year-old girl had previously shed light into the life the girls had lived with their grandmother.
“[She] suggested that the two missing sisters were being raped over time by their uncle,” Mdleleni said in a statement when the three were first reported missing. The elder sister claimed that she too had been raped by the uncle. One of her younger sisters had subsequently fallen pregnant, leading to her reporting the rape to police.
“On the day the family went missing, the police had earlier visited the family as part of the investigation after rape allegations were reported,” said Mdleleni. “It is alleged that after the police left, the uncle arrived and began questioning the family on what the police were looking for. That was the last time both the family and the uncle were seen.”After the discovery of the bodies, charges of murder were added.
