Shocking: 13-year-old girl kills landlord’s 4-year-old daughter, stashes body under bed

Plumtree, Matabeleland South Province residents are shocked because a 13-year-old girl is accused of killing the 4-year-old daughter of the person who owns the house she lives in and putting her body under a bed.

It is said that the mother of the child who died last week went to South Africa and left her other two children in the care of her tenant, the accused person's older sister, who is 26 years old.

It is also said that the 26-year-old left home with the older sister of the person who died to get groceries at a nearby shopping center. When they came back, they couldn't find the 4-year-old child.

They looked everywhere and found the dead person's body hidden under a bed.

The police looked into the case and found a knife and a pair of scissors with blood on them, which the suspect is said to have used.

Inspector Loveness Mangena, a spokesman for the police in Matabeleland South, confirmed the incident.
