A man has been arrested in connection with the triple murder in Phoenix, just North of Durban in which a woman and her two daughters were killed.
A Spokesperson for the KwaZulu-Natal police Lieutenant Colonel Thulani Zwane said police worked tirelessly around the clock to trace the alleged killer of the three women.
A 45-year-old man, who was known to the family, was arrested on Friday night. He will be charged with three counts of murder and would appear in the Verulam Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
On Friday morning, Phoenix police responded to a report of murder at Longcroft Drive in Phoenix. On their arrival they found two bodies inside the house. They were identified as Jane Govender, 44, and her daughter Rackelle, 16.
"While police were still busy with their investigation, combing the scene, they found the third body in a cupboard. She was identified as the second daughter Denisha, 22. Three counts of murder were opened at Phoenix police station and investigations were ongoing,," Zwane said.
