SAPS spokesperson Sgt Mashudu Phathela said Yamila was playing with her friends on a street in Reiger Park before she entered a yard a few metres away from her home, to drink water.
“It appears the child was electrocuted as she opened the tap,” said Phathela.
Police immediately registered an inquest docket and the Ekurhuleni metro’s technical team is conducting an inspection of the property to establish how the tap had become electrified.
The little girl was laid to rest at the Boksburg Cemetery on December 9.
