The SAPS Acting Provincial Commissioner in Limpopo Major General Jan Scheepers has condemned the persistent incidents of domestic related killings and attacks which are still occurring in some areas in the Province in the most strongest terms.

This condemnation follows the horrific incident which occurred at Ga-Maphalle village in the Bolobedu Policing area of the Tzaneen Cluster in the early hours of today 28 June 2018 after three people were found dead inside the house.

It is alleged that a community member observed this incident and notified the Police who reacted swiftly and on arrival at the crime scene, three people were found dead, the 38 year old woman lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds, the 57 year old man and a 19 months old girl child were found lying next to the woman with unknown substance coming out of their mouths.

The motive behind this incident is still unknown but domestic violence may not be ruled out.

The Police have opened cases of murder and two counts of inquests which are still being investigated.

Members of the community who are having social related problems, must consult their local relevant Authorities for intervention rather than taking the lives of another, concluded General Scheepers.
