NOT FOR SENSITIVE READERS! 

NORTH WEST – Police are investigating a murder case after the bodies of three children were discovered in a yard at Botsanalo village near Morokweng (about 140km from Vryburg). The lifeless bodies of the children aged four, five and six, were found on Wednesday 18 November. 

 “According to reports, the grandmother left the children in the yard at approximately 10:00 to attend a funeral service in the same village. She returned home at about 15:30 and found the preschoolers lifeless bodies inside an old, unused vehicle that was parked in the yard,” police spokesperson brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said. 

Two of the children, Thabo and Thoriso Mohibidu, were siblings while six-year-old Bokao Sheleng was a neighbour and playmate. 

Mokgwabone urged parents and community members to always take care of their children and to be aware of their whereabouts to avoid such tragic incidents. Less than a month ago three children were found dead inside a freezer at a house in Mammutla village near Taung. Investigations into both these cases are still underway.
