The bodies of two adults - a man understood to be a court interpreter and his wife, a local magistrate - and their three children - were discovered in the main bedroom of the house at around lunchtime, yesterday afternoon.  

They had all been shot - it's believed - during the course of the previous night.  

At this time, it appears to have been a murder-suicide and police are investigating an inquest and four counts of murder.  

Neighbours Buhle Qinisile-Ndlovu and Thandiwe Khanyile say the family was tight-knit. They didn't hear anything on Tuesday night.
