Cape Town – The father of murdered Bokgabo Poo has beseeched the man accused of raping, killing and mutilating his daughter to reveal where the rest of the toddler’s body parts are.
An emotional Irvin Ndlovu pleaded with the accused, Ntokoso Zikali, 30, as he left the dock following his appearance at the Benoni Magistrates Court in Gauteng on Monday.
A weeping Ndlovu said he wanted to bury his daughter while those around him tried to comfort and calm him down.
“I want to bury my child. Tell me where my daughter’s body parts are. Can you say where the body parts are? Somebody ask him,” he said.
Last week the courtroom broke into chaos as Ndlovu lunged at the accused yelling: “This bastard killed my daughter.”
Ndlovu said he was not able to control himself at the sight of her suspected killer, reported The Citizen.

EWN reported that the accused remained in police custody while the state indicated its intention to apply for bail to be revoked in the accused’s first case.
The report said the first matter the accused appeared for was with regard to the rape of a nine-year-old for which he was previously granted bail.
Bokgabo was last seen on video happily skipping along with a man who had allegedly approached her and a five-year-old playmate in a park on October 10.
Bokgabo’s father previously said he learned that the man allegedly offered them money for sweets and sent the boy to the shop alone.
The next day, a 63-year-old woman was sweeping her yard when she found the leg of a child in a shallow grave.
