Baby Nakita Nikita passed away after being assaulted by her father in El Dorado Park, Ext 1

In the popular video, 4-year-old toddler Nakita Nikita can be seen wailing and screaming loudly as her father sexually assaults and beats her.

The girl child was struggling for her life in severe condition at Soweto's Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital.

The father was detained on Wednesday after tenants reported hearing the youngster scream and being abused multiple times.

Johannesburg District Police Commissioner Major General Nonhlanhla Khubeka, “We had to arrange the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences unit because we had some suspicion. When they visited crime scene, they searched the house and found some clothes that had blood. The mother of the child was already in the hospital. 

The FCS went to the mother of the child and interrogated her and she confirmed that the father has been abusing the two kids. We had to arrest also the mother of the child.”
