A South African man was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a nine-month-old baby, in an attack which outraged the country known for its high levels of violent crime.
South African radio said a High Court judge found David Potse - at one time the boyfriend of the baby's mother - guilty after police told the court DNA samples taken from the infant had matched Potse's own.
"Judge Lacock told the court the crime was the most gruesome form of a human rights violation he had found in his 32-year-old career, and he believed the party deserved the death sentence," the radio station said.
