- Thando Nondywana

The murder of a five-year-old girl has enraged the community of Orlando East in Soweto, some of whom went from house to house searching for her killer yesterday.

Amantle Samane's half-naked body was found in an empty shack two streets away from her home on Monday.

SA Police Service Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo said police were looking for the man accused of killing the girl.

"The girl was playing with other children when the suspect called her to his rented shack at one of the houses in Orlando.

"The suspect allegedly raped and killed the girl inside the shack. The matter was reported to the police, who immediately started searching for the suspect, who is on the run."
