The Western Cape High Court has found the man on trial for the kidnapping, rape and murder of eight-year-old Tazne van Wyk guilty on all counts.
Tazne went missing on 7 February 2020. A widespread search for the little girl yielded no results until a man was arrested in Cradock 10 days later. Two weeks after the arrest he told the police where to find her body.
News24 reports that he has also been found guilty of many charges of rape levelled against him by his daughter and granddaughter. He has also been found guilty of incest.
He can’t be named to protect his victim’s privacy, many of whom are minors.
