South African Mother Sentenced to Life for Selling Daughter, Shocking Details Uncovered
A South African woman has been sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping and selling her 6-year-old daughter, Joshlin Smith, who has been missing for over a year. The mother, Racquel Smith, reportedly sold her daughter to a local traditional healer for financial gain. As investigations progressed, it became clear that both she and her accomplices showed no remorse, resulting in all parties receiving life sentences.
This case initially appeared to be a standard kidnapping but evolved into a serious human trafficking case. A neighbor reported that Racquel had confided in her about plans to sell her daughter for 20,000 rand (approximately 3,000 new Taiwan dollars). The revelations have sparked public outrage against the mother's actions, and authorities have vowed to continue searching for the missing girl.
