This comes just a month after another mother allegedly killed her children in the same province.
On Tuesday morning, the Grahamstown Search and Rescue Unit found the mother about 100m from the children in dense bushes.Preliminary investigation suggests that poverty may have been a motivating factor for the incident.This comes just a month after another mother of three allegedly murdered her children before talking her own life in the same province.
At the time, police said while the motive for the killings was unknown, it was suspected that it was driven by poverty. Last November, also in the same province, police opened four murder cases after four children were found bludgeoned to death allegedly by their mother at KuMhlabubomvu, in the Engcobo Local Municipality.
Police spokesperson Tembinkosi Kinana said the bodies of the four children were found in the rondavel where they were sleeping with their 31-year-old mother.“Preliminary investigation reveals that they had been assaulted by their own mother with a sledge hammer. Consequently, they suffered serious injuries to the upper bodies,” said Kinana then.
