Phoenix triple murder accused due in court
Messages of condolences are continuing to pour in for the Phoenix mother and her two daughters who were killed in their home last week.
The man arrested in connection with the murders and who police say is known to the family is due to make his first appearance in court today.
"A forty-five-year-old man is due to appear today in the Verulam Magistrate's Court after he was charged with three counts of murder. He was linked to the killing of three women that were found in the house in the Phoenix area on Friday," Zwane said.
The police's Thulani Zwane says the man was arrested on Friday night - hours after the bodies of Jane Govindsamy and her daughters, Denisha and Nikita, were discovered at a flat on Longcroft Drive.
