Diepsloot man guilty of raping, killing toddlers, five-year-old

A man accused of raping and killing three Diepsloot children was found guilty of the crimes by the High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday, according to a report.

Eyewitness News reported that Ntokozo Hadebe told the court through his lawyer he was mad.

Hadebe previously denied raping and murdering five-year-old Anelisa Mkhonto in September last year, and two-year-old Yonalisa Mali and her cousin Zandile, three, in October last year.

He kidnapped the girls and took them to his shack in Diepsloot, north of Johannesburg, where he raped, sodomised, and suffocated or strangled them. He dumped Anelisa's body in a garbage bin and the bodies of the cousins in a public toilet.
