The bodies of Jane Govindsamy and her daughters, Denisha and Nikita were found in their flat on Friday.

Govindsamy's family says a funeral service will be held for the trio at the Faith Revival Church in Phoenix.

A 45-year-old man was arrested on Saturday and has appeared in court yesterday.

The family's spokesperson, Pastor Mervin Reddy says the court case left the family drained.

"The husband, who is also the father [of the girls], is not taking it very well. I believe he was in court the entire day. That further traumatised him because he had to endure sitting in court - waiting for the outcome," Reddy said. 

The funeral service of Govindsamy and her daughters will take place at the Faith Revival Church from 11am to 2pm.
