Two children have been found strangled and their father hanged in their Mossel Bay home, Western Cape police said on Monday.
A neighbour found their bodies on Sunday while their mother was at work, Captain Bernadine Steyn said.
The children, aged nine and seven, were lying on a bed. It appeared that they had been strangled. The father was hanging from a rope tied to the rafters in another room in the house.
An autopsy will be conducted.

Why?Mental health in SA is abysmal. I cannot imagine how a father looks into the eyes of his innocent children and chokes the life out of them. Just too heart breaking :(

It's heart breaking that most of the time children are involved in this senseless killings and I'm failing to understand why we as human beings do that. Most of the stories I read today children have been brutally killed and raped.It's time that we speak to our partners and be very vigilant of small things.Report Abuse

Maybe someone else came in and strangled the kids and then hanged him? Like you MommaC, I can't understand a man choking the life our of his children!Report Abuse
