Reading Time: < 1 minute

A murder case against Kgomotso Makena who is accused of killing her two children by giving them rat poison is on Tuesday expected to be heard in the Moretele magistrates court near Pretoria.

The incident happened at Stinkwater village in May last year, after the seven-year old girl and two-year-old boy were served with breakfast mixed with the poison for unknown reasons.

The father of the children found them dead on a bed covered with blankets.

The suspect is reported to have confessed and said she also consumed the poison but survived.

The court is expecting a response on Tuesday to an application for a decision by the Directorate of Prosecution to prosecute.
