Urban police are holding a 30-year-old man in custody suspected to have raped and killed a nine-year-old girl who is the daughter of his former girlfriend.

On arrival at the suspect’s yard at White City location in Gaborone, Mmegi found an apopletic  mob eagerly waiting for the suspect to be taken out of the house, as they wanted to take the law into their hands.
