An Ntuzuma man was arrested yesterday after he allegedly beat his teenage daughter to death on learning that she had defied him and persisted in wearing a tongue stud.
KwaMashu police Constable Mumsy Mfeka said the girl's father knew of the piercing, and had told her to remove it. She said the father became more upset on learning that she had been wearing the stud to school.
Mfeka said: "When her father discovered that she had been wearing the stud, he asked why she had been disobedient and he than beat her up with an unplugged electrical cable. When the father learnt that his daughter was not moving, he rushed her to a nearby clinic, where she was declared dead on arrival."
Captain Khephu Ndlovu said the father later handed himself over to the police and was charged with murder.
The incident is being investigated.
