A 31-year-old man was arrested in Inanda north of Durban on Monday after he allegedly killed a woman and her son with an axe, KwaZulu-Natal police said. Superintendent Vasie Naidoo said the man, believed to be mentally disturbed, argued with his younger brother on Sunday night. The woman gave the boy clothes and told him to spend the night at friends. When he returned the next morning he found Nomini Simelane (60) and her 10-year-old grandson Nkosinathi with multiple stab wounds to their heads. Naidoo said the man allegedly confessed to the murders to neighbours. He was arrested on the scene and will appear in the Verulam Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. – Sapa
