24-year-old Mbulelo Bhadane appeared in the Khayelitsha Magistrate's Court yesterday in connection with the abduction and murder of a three-year-old Viwe Mnembe.

According to reports Mnembe’s body, covered in stab wounds, was found near her home over the weekend after she was abducted on Thursday from her day care centre.

Her captor allegedly demanded a R500 ransom.

Bhadane, who was her mother's alleged boyfriend, was arrested on Saturday in Khayelitsha.

Police said that after being questioned, Bhadane took them to the bushes where Mnembe’s body was found.
