A 51-year-old man arrested for allegedly murdering his 87-year-old mother and 39-year-old sister in Mid-Illovo near Camperdown is expected to appear in the Richmond Magistrate’s Court in KwaZulu-Natal today.
Provincial Police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the bodies of the two women were found with their heads chopped off.
He says a subsequent search of the women’s yard led to the recovery of their heads inside a pit latrine.
Police recovered the knife which was used to cut off the heads.
They also found the suspect in possession of a firearm, believed to have been used to commit the crime.
