The Germiston SAPS is currently investigating the murder of an 11-year-old girl from Dukathole.<\/p>\n
Dimakatso Kgoabane was brutally beaten to death, last Friday, at her home after a stranger allegedly became violent after Kgoabane\u2019s mother refused to assist him in finding someone.<\/p>
\u201cThe suspect first attacked the deceased\u2019s mother and sisters, hitting them with a brick.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey managed to escape the house, leaving behind the 11-year-old girl,\u201d said WO Andr\u00e9 de Jager, spokesman for the Germiston SAPS.<\/p>
The suspect then allegedly grabbed a spade and started to beat the deceased. She was declared dead on the scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo arrests have been made to date. However, the investigating officer is following up on several leads,\u201d said de Jager.<\/p>\n
