MOTHER WHO KILLED HER FOUR CHILDREN APPEARS IN COURT

The woman who is accused of killing her four children made her first appearance before the Magistrate Court of Ngcobo on Thursday. Four counts of murder have been preferred against  Nomboleko Simayile (32) for bludgeoning her four kids with a sledge hammer. The court has remanded her in custody until her next appearance on the 17th of November 2022 to apply for bail.

It is alleged that on the morning of Wednesday, the accused told her father that she had killed her two boys and two girls, aged 11, 9, 5 and 2. They had been slipping with her in a rondavel at their homestead at Tsalaba Area in the district of Ngcobo, while her aged parents were sleeping in a separate flat within the same homestead.  The father alerted his wife and summoned the community members after making the gruesome discovery of his grandchildren. All of them had been bludgeoned to death with a hammer.

Prosecutor Lindelwa Totyi told the court that the matter is a Schedule 6 offence and will therefore, oppose bail.
