Relatives of the infant said that they heard the baby crying in a shack in the backyard. When they got there, the man pushed them out of the way and ran out while zipping his pants. The baby was lying naked on the bed, with a lot of blood, crying.
The
baby’s 24-year-old uncle appeared in the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court
on Thursday on charges of rape and attempted murder. Although he was
warned that the charges against him were very serious, the young man
turned down the help of legal aid. - See more at:

Gynecologist
Dr Jan van Soest, part of a seven-person team that operated for two
hours to save the baby, said in an interview on Friday that although it
was very soon after the surgery, they expected the child would recover
physically, and would one day be able to bear children of her own.
The baby’s 24-year-old uncle appeared in the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court on Thursday on charges of rape and attempted murder. Although he was warned that the charges against him were very serious, the young man turned down the help of legal aid.
“I am sharp. I will defend myself,” he said when magistrate Kubashnie Padayachee warned him of the seriousness of the charges. He didn’t reply to any of her further questions.
Padayachee ruled that the man, who may not be named as he is related to the victim, will remain behind bars until his next appearance on December 12, when she will consider a formal application for bail.
The baby had sustained extensive trauma to the inside and outside of her genitals, as well as bruising and severe tearing, but there was no internal abdominal trauma.
Her perineum was also torn and needed to be built back up.
“Although she was on heavy pain medication after the surgery, she is only receiving oral medication now and is stable. She is drinking from her mother and urinating normally. We are happy with her progress so far,” Van Soest said.
He said the attack was the worst he had ever seen involving such a young child.
“We tried to repair the damage so that her anatomy is back to normal, but we will only know in six months time how successful the operation was.
The suspect, it emerged, had himself been discharged from hospital just hours before the rape of the infant.
