A 17-year-old girl’s naked body was discovered in Albert Luthuli Street in Browns Farm at around 7 am Saturday morning [June 20].
“The circumstances surrounding the death of a 17-year-old girl are being investigated by Nyanga police after her naked body was discovered,” said Colonel Andrè Traut, Provincial Commander of Media Communication.
“The exact cause of her death is yet to be determined and one has been arrested as yet,” he said.

This is another in a string of deaths and alleged murders involving children which have been reported in the city just over the last week.
