A BANKET teenage girl has been arrested for murder following the mysterious death of a five-year-old girl from the local neighbourhood.
The suspect (name withheld) is aged 16 and stays in Kuwadzana township, Banket was Friday brought to court.
However, she failed to appear for her initial remand as the prosecution disputed her age claims.
She argues she is 16 while the state says she looks 18, and this prompted a request for an age estimation to be done at the Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital.
Police requested the court for an extension of detention beyond the 48-hour permitted according to the law. The request was granted.
