The National Prosecuting Authority has withdrawn charges against a man who was arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman and two toddlers during a robbery in Dobsonville, Soweto.
NPA spokesperson, Phindi Louw, said this morning that this was due to insufficient evidence against him.
The 33-year-old man was arrested yesterday afternoon in connection with Tuesday's attack when two men broke into a home and attacked the woman and the kids.
The two-year-old boy was stabbed three times on his head, and the three-year-old stabbed eight times in his body.
The boys' mother received multiple stab wounds on her left arm while their 60-year-old grandmother was cut on her forehead.
The robbers stole electrical appliances before fleeing.
