Civil rights movement #NotInMyName has called for child rapists to be chemically castrated after an eight-day-old baby died after she was allegedly raped by her biological father.
The newborn baby succumbed to her injuries inflicted by her father who has since been charged with rape and murder.
NEWBORN BABY ALLEGEDLY RAPED BY OWN FATHER
As previously reported by The South African, the 36-year-old father was arrested on Friday, 9 June, after allegedly committing the crime the day before.
The father allegedly took the infant from her mother on Thursday. The couple had rented a backroom the day before.

When he returned later, the child who had been fully clothed when he left was naked and injured. The mother took the baby to the woman who lives in the main house on the property and showed her the injuries.
The woman alerted the police and called an ambulance. The eight-day-old baby girl died in hospital the next morning as per The Carletonville Herald.
CALL FOR CHEMICAL CASTRATION OF RAPISTS
#NotInMyName said it will not support the father’s bail application if he’s deluded enough to apply for it.
“We also wish to reiterate our stance on the chemical castration of child rapists and/or to legislate sexual offences against children as a capital crime, punishable by death.
“We are wasting state resources believing that paedophiles of any kind can be rehabilitated or that they deserve a ‘fair’ trial,” spokesperson, Mo Senne said.

Senne said paedophiles’ rights must be limited in the interests of justice and the children whose lives they impact for all eternity.
“If people want to be treated as humans, they must cease from behaving like wild animals,” she added.
