Moseou says they understand that police have taken in two suspects for questioning.
"According to what I got from Induna regarding the background of the family, is that the family member (the guy who is arrested) was arrested before because an old lady had to open a case against him because he was abusing them in terms of getting the social grant, but he was released."
