The family of the man accused of slitting his two children’s throats are no longer willing to speak to the media, The Tembisan reported.
Kempton Express previously reported the SAPS discovered the body of the man on December 17.
It is alleged the children’s 22-year-old father slit their throats, stabbed the children’s mother and then committed suicide. His family stated they do not believe the man committed suicide.
Family of the woman said the woman’s condition in hospital was stable but she had no knowledge of her two children’s deaths.
The man’s family said they were disappointed with the media for reporting the man had committed suicide.
“If he wanted to commit suicide he would have killed himself immediately after stabbing the woman. He must have been beaten to death somewhere else and dumped in that house,” said a family member.
