A 23-year-old woman and her four-year-old child were killed in an apparent murder-suicide at a railway line in Kopanong in Tembisa on Tuesday morning, North Rand police said.
”It appears that the woman saw the train approaching and jumped in front of it with her child,” said police spokesperson Cynthia Kleinhans.
She said their names could not be released because family members had not yet been informed of their deaths.
Police were still interviewing witnesses at the scene, Kleinhans said.
A murder case would be opened for investigation. — Sapa
