KwaZulu-Natal’s Community Safety MEC Mxolisi Kaunda has called for the sternest punishment for whoever was responsible for the killing of four young siblings who were found stabbed to death in their home in KwaNzimakwe in Port Shestone on Sunday.
“The mutilated bodies of Mbhele siblings, aged between four and twelve years, were discovered by members of the public,” a statement from Kaunda’s office confirmed on Monday.
“Police reported that when they arrived at the scene, they found the deceased bodies with multiple stab wounds and they had their left ears chopped off. The siblings stayed with their mother who was not at home when the incident occurred.”
Police were questioning a person who was found sleeping in the home with the deceased.
“As government, we condemn the brutal murder of the four innocent children,” Kaunda said.
“We call upon members of the police to thoroughly investigate this case and ensure that whoever is responsible for this dastardly deed is removed from society and locked away for a very long time. We cannot allow such brutal acts of criminality to go unpunished.”
Kaunda sent his condolences to the Mbhele family.
