A man arrested on suspicion of raping and murdering two toddlers in a Johannesburg slum has confessed, prosecutors have said.
The case sparked violent riots last week when people blocked roads with burning tyres and pelted police with rocks.
The man, in his late 20s, appeared in court briefly on Monday on two counts each of murder, kidnapping and rape, said prosecution spokesman Medupe Simasiku.
He was arrested on Friday after the two cousins' bodies were discovered in a communal toilet cubicle earlier in the week in the Diepsloot shantytown.
The girls, who were two and three years old, were raped and strangled.
Four suspected accomplices have also been detained but they have not confessed.
All five will appear in court together on Thursday.
South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world. About 16,000 people are killed a year, according to official statistics.
More than half the 54,000 crimes against children reported in the period from 2010 to 2011 were sexual offences, according to UN children's organisation Unicef.
