Hunt for suspects after gruesome murder of grandmother, granddaughter (5) in NW
Authorities in North West are searching for an unknown number of suspects after a grandmother and her 5-year-old granddaughter were killed in their home on Saturday.
Police spokesperson Sam Tselanyane says the deceased grandmother spoke to her 21-year-old son on the phone a few hours before he discovered the bodies.
“The deceased allegedly told her son not to come home anymore as they were supposed to go to town that morning and they were not going anymore.
“A few moments thereafter, the son allegedly received a text message from his mother’s phone informing him that he can come and collect money at about 09:00,” says Tselanyane.
The son then went to his mother’s house, only to find that the sitting room’s windowpane was broken.
“Upon entering the house, he allegedly found his mother’s lifeless body with multiple stab wounds and a rope around her neck lying in a pool of blood in the sitting room’s floor.
“Furthermore, the 5-year-old girl’s body was found drowned head-first in a big bucket full of water in the kitchen.”
Tselanyane says the motive for the attack is not known.
