"We assisted them and there is nothing much we can say on that," he said.

On Tuesday, Police in Thyolo disclosed that a 12-year-old girl who went missing earlier this week after knocking off from Ntambanyama primary school was raped before being killed.

Her body was found on Tuesday near Namitete river banks in the area of Senior chief Khwethemule with both arms and legs bound.

She said: "As a Member of Parliament and mother, I am very much concerned with the security of this area which is now compromised. It's a sad news and we really need our security officers to take action."

Body of the sex worker was found in a maize field behind Makwasa market in a decomposed state.
