Johannesburg - North West police have arrested a 38-year-old man for allegedly murdering his two sons aged 11 and 12 by feeding them rat poison.
According to police spokesperson Brigadier Sabata Mokgwaabone, the man is a farmworker and lives in Valkop Plot in the vicinity of Assen near Brits. As an ambulance had not been called after the children drank the poison, police went to the scene. However, the children had already died. "However, it came out during investigation that the father seemingly poisoned the children. He was then charged with two counts of murder. The motive is unknown at this stage and investigation into the matter continues."
Although she was tracked down and informed of the deaths of the children and the arrest of her partner, she was believed to still be in Krugersdorp on Tuesday.
