Five children murdered in KZN

A man and a woman are being questioned at the Tugela Ferry police station following the murder of five children at Msinga near Greytown in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, South African Broadcasting Corporation news said on Monday.

The suspects are reportedly being questioned in connection with the murder of four girls and one boy.

The bodies of the children — three five-year-olds and two three-year-olds — were found in a car parked at a neighbour’s house on Sunday.

A post-mortem will be conducted later on Monday to determine the cause of their deaths. – Sapa
