“The couple‚ aged 49 and 46‚ was going through a divorce, which could’ve been the motive for the killing,” said van Staad.
Van Staad said the boys found their parents shortly after they woke up.
“The children called relatives for help who then called the police.”
A murder case and an inquest docket had been opened at the Daveyton SAPS.
