Diepsloot, South Africa (CNN) -- In a country where several rapes are said to occur every minute, in a township where violence is commonplace, this was a crime that shocked the entire community of Diepsloot, South Africa.

Two girl cousins, aged two and three, were taken from their doorstep -- kidnapped in broad daylight.

And when Yonelisa and Zandile Mali were found a few days later in the township north of Johannesburg, the news only got worse.

The two girls had been raped and murdered, their lifeless bodies dumped in a public toilet in Diepsloot.

I can't be a judge in this situation. I'd have them executed right there in the courtroom.

Diepsloot... If you told me such a crime was committed but didn't tell me where, I would have assumed it happened in that place. There are people existing in the townships of South Africa who truly have hearts of darkness.

Those poor babies. They didn't get a chance in life.

Disgusting freaking monsters

Some crimes are just incomprehensible.

I propose the Death penalty for cases of rape of such children in which certain elements are reached (or sunk to).

Main article: Sexual violence in South Africa

The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007 is the relevant legislation in South Africa. Despite the fact that this act provides modern and progressive laws, that ban rape and other forms of sexual abuse, including sexual violence within marriage, South Africa remains a country where sexual attacks are common. The country has some of the highest incidences of child and baby rape in the world with more than 67,000 cases of rape and sexual assaults against children reported in 2000, with welfare groups believing that unreported incidents could be up to 10 times higher.^[109] In 2001, a 9-month-old was raped and likely lost consciousness as the pain was too much to bear.^[110] Another 9-month-old baby was raped by six men, aged between 24 and 66, after the infant had been left unattended by her teenage mother. A 4-year-old girl died after being raped by her father. A 14-month-old girl was raped by her two uncles. In February 2002, an 8-month-old infant was reportedly gang raped by four men. One has been charged. The infant has required extensive reconstructive surgery. The 8-month-old infant's injuries were so extensive, increased attention on prosecution has occurred.^[111]

Bro I have a lot of real-life experience and it does have value.

However it is of limited value in presenting a case on things that don't personally pertain to me or my life.

Don't be afraid of Stats, they are the consolidation of many peoples "experiences."
