Residents of Gugulethu in Cape Town have burned down the house where the body of a murdered toddler was found stuffed in a suitcase last week.

The man who lives in the house has been arrested.

He has been charged with the murder of three-year-old Athenkosi Nkone.

City fire and rescue spokesperson Theo Layne says furious residents also hurled stones at the fire truck when it arrived to soak the flames.
