  1. Giant rats eat two babies in South Africa townships in separate attacks By DAN NEWLING UPDATED: 05:46 EST, 3 June 2011 For Mail Online

  2. Giant rats as big as cats have killed and eaten two babies in separate attacks in South Africa's squalid townships this week. Lunathi Dwadwa, three, was killed as she slept in her parent's shack in the Khayelitsha slum outside Cape Town and another girl was killed in Soweto township near Johannesburg the same day.

  3. Little Lunathi was sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor of her family's breeze block and corrugated iron home on Sunday night when she died. Her puzzled parents didn't even hear her scream.

  4. When her mother discovered her lifeless body, she saw that her daughter's eyes had been gouged out. BukiswaDwadwa, 27, said: 'I can't forget how ugly my child looked after her eyes were ripped out. 'She was eaten from her eyebrows to her cheeks, her other eye was hanging by a piece of flesh’

  5. Her father Mncedisi Mokoena said police told him: 'Nothing could have done that but rats'

  6. And today police revealed that a baby girl died in the Soweto township when she was attacked by rats while her teenage mother was out with friends. 'We were called to the scene of the death of an infant due to a rat attack on Monday morning at around 9am,' said police officer BonganiMhlongo. 'The mother of the child was arrested on charges of culpable homicide and neglect’ The deaths appear to be part of a spate of deadly rat attacks in the country. Last month, 77-year-old grandmother NomathembaJoyi died after giant rats chewed off the right side of her face.
