A relative of the six-year-old Alexia Nyamadzawo, who was found dead on Tuesday, is expected to appear in court. After an extensive search, rescuers found her body in the Glendale area on the North Coast. She was reported missing on Sunday. A 42-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the murder and is reportedly related to the family.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker said on Sunday night, the child’s mother was driving along Glendale Road and slowed down at a speed hump when she alleged a man opened the back door and snatched the sleeping child from the seat.
Alexia’s 14-year-old sibling was also in the car.

The mother reported the kidnapping to the police and a two-day search party was conducted.
On Monday, a 42-year-old woman was called in for questioning and police were then able to find the location of the child’s body. According to police, the search was very difficult due to the terrain of the sugarcane field where the body was abandoned.
