Police have confirmed that an internal investigation has been launched into allegations of police incompetence in the search for the granddaughter of Transvaal Judge Bernard Ngoepe. A large-scale search was launched for four-year-old Makgabo Matlala on Wednesday, after four men entered her family home in Lenasia South and gang-raped the domestic worker before fleeing with household goods. Police initially thought the girl had been kidnapped, but discovered her body under a bed in the house yesterday. National Police Chief Jackie Selebi has expressed his anger at what he calls police incompetence in failing to find the child’s body sooner.
