Girl stabs her would have been rapist to death

A 17-year-old girl has handed herself over to the police  and  currently in custody after apparently fatally stabbing a man who wanted to rape her in Sofaya Village, Limpopo police said.

 

 

The man confronted the teen while she was on her way to the local tavern in the early hours of Sunday morning, said Lieutenant Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe. 

"[He] wanted to rape her, but she fought back, overpowered him, disarmed him of his knife and stabbed him to death."

Police doing routine patrols later discovered the man's body with multiple stab wounds on the tarred road.

  Parents have been advised  to set boundaries and encourage responsible behaviour in their children, however it is quite disturbing that a 17- year- old girl will be walking alone at midnight to a tavern.

"It is totally unacceptable and it must be condemned in the strongest terms especially considering the prevalence of crimes against women and children in the province."
