A Malawian father (31) who allegedly raped his one-month-old daughter was remanded in custody by the Brits Magistrate’s Court. He is facing a charge of rape for raping his biological one-month-old infant. On 19 October 2023, the mother of the baby left her sleeping next to the father in a shack and went outside to prepare food.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson in Gauteng, Lumka Mahanjana said the mother, while outside, allegedly heard her baby crying. Mahanjana further said, she rushed to the shack to check what was happening.
“It was alleged that she found both the father and the baby naked with the private part of the baby bleeding. The mother screamed for help and the neighbours came.
“The child was taken to hospital for medical examination and was subsequently admitted. The matter was remanded to 3 November 2023 for an interpreter,” she added.
