Teen girl kills her rapist
A 15-year-old girl shot dead a 21-year-old man, who raped her in Tsakane on Wednesday, East Rand police reported.
Superintendent Andy Pieke said the girl reported that she met the man and two of his friends at a braai on Tuesday afternoon. She decided to join them when they left for Carnival City in the evening.
They left the Brakpan casino complex at 4am on Wednesday and the rapist, who was driving dropped his friends off at their houses.
The girl claimed that the man then refused to take her home to Duduza. Instead he drove to Tsakane.
Pieke said the girl alleged he stopped on the side of the road and threatened her with a firearm. He then ordered her to take off her clothes and raped her at gunpoint.
While the man was raping her she managed to grab the firearm and a struggle for it ensued.
A shot went off and the man was hit in the nose.
Pieke said he died at the scene.
The girl got out of the vehicle and called for help. Two men came to the scene, but they stole the firearm and fled.
The firearm was not licensed in the name of the dead man. He was found naked in the car, Pieke said.
The girl was taken to a district surgeon who confirmed she had been raped.

The guy didn't even need a gun for this to be a justified killing. With the aids rate in South Africa, genitalia should be considered deadly weapons.

She did well, and the world is a little safer today.

I'm glad this girl was able to defend herself, but what was she doing w/ 3 adult males at that time of night? Really, if she made better choices & didn't put herself in that situation, she wouldn't have been a victim

o give you an idea of haw screwed up africa is, it is wideley believed that sex with a virgin will cure you of aids in many african countries. Rape of pre-teen girls has skyrocketed, only spreading the epidemic further.

It's just too bad she wasn't carrying in the first place. He is dead...but she was raped, and might be dead in a year or two due to HIV.
