The area where the incident occurred was shaken. |
Recently, a 3-month-old baby girl in South Africa was bitten to death by a giant rat after her mother left her alone at home to attend a party. The baby was left on her bed and unattended when the animal appeared and attacked.
The 26-year-old mother was arrested and charged with manslaughter after returning home from a party in Katlehong, Johannesburg, South Africa. Luckily, her twin, Lucky, survived because she was with her at the party.

The rat that bit the little girl to death is said to be similar in size to the animal in the picture. |
Witnessing the scene of the mouse attack on the 3-month-old baby, a neighbor living nearby said: “The baby died in agony. He was bitten by a mouse and died of blood loss. I want that evil mother to be locked up.”
“She just liked to party all night long,” said Noluthando Mtshali, the daughter of the 26-year-old mother’s landlord. Mtshali said she was too shocked to look at the scene. Neighbors said it was not the first time the mother had left her children alone. When asked who was looking after the children, the mother always gave the excuse that her older sister was keeping an eye on them.
“The young mother came home in the early hours of the morning with her new boyfriend. They sneaked in through the window because they lost their keys and found the baby dead,” Mtshali said. The house owner, Mama Sesi, said the area was infested with rats. According to neighbours, the young mother often left her baby crying all night until it got tired and fell asleep.
