A NORTHERN Province mother and her three children were found murdered in their house on Monday night, ten days after the Warmbaths Magistrate’s Court granted a protection order against the children’s father. Concerned neighbours alerted police that it had been quiet all day at the house in Extension 6 of Bela Bela, said a police representative. He said two officers arrived and broke a window to see into the house. They got a strong whiff of gas and broke down the door. They found Lillian Mabule (37) her 14-year-old daughter, eight-year-old son and eight-month-old daughter dead on the floor. Mabule had several head wounds, her eight-year-old son had been stabbed in the body, while the baby had marks on its head and neck. – African Eye News Service
