Soweto woman arrested for kidnapping, murder of toddler
Police in Gauteng arrested a woman in Protea Glen on Wednesday, who was wanted for the kidnapping and murder of four-year-old Keeya Mbulawa.
In January, the suspect was moving out of a premises in the area when Mbulawa's mother realised her child had gone missing.
The mother then demanded to search the suspect's luggage and she discovered her daughter inside one of the woman's bags.
The four-year old girl's hands and feet were tied up and a cloth was tucked inside her mouth.
Mbulawa succumbed to her injuries in hospital.
The woman had then fled the area, but on Wednesday she was seen again in the same area.
Police spokesperson Mavela Masondo says the suspect was spotted by the community member while walking in the streets of Protea Glen and police were alerted.
"The woman is expected to appear before Protea Magistrate's Court on Friday, for charges of kidnapping and murder."
