The SAPS welcomes the life sentence that was handed down to a 24-year-old uncle for raping his five-year-old niece in Victoria West. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On 27 October 2017 the five-year-old got a lift with the uncle from the farm to her home in Victoria West.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On their way to town the uncle suddenly stopped the donkey cart. He forcefully undressed the girl, raped her and dropped her off at home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The girl told her mother about the rape and the suspect was arrested by police on the same day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Police successfully opposed bail and the accused was sentenced to life imprisonment on 17 January 2023 in the Victoria West Regional Court.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
