Suspects expected to appear in court for murder of 7-year-old Lolitha Kowa

CAPE TOWN - A man and a woman are expected to appear at the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court on Friday for the murder of seven-year-old Lolitha Kowa.
 
The little girl was last seen on Tuesday after she left home to go play with a friend.
 
Her body was discovered the next day, with the help of a sniffer dog that led the police to an address in Sindwadwa Street, Kuyasa, where the child was last seen.
 
Police said the search for Kowa started when her family reported her missing on Tuesday evening.
 
She had apparently gone to play with a friend in the afternoon, and when she didn't return, her mother notified the police.
 
There, the dog reacted to blood on the mop and blood stains on the floor of the house, which is believed to be that of the child.
 
This led to the arrest of a man and a woman at the address.
