The 29-year-old man who has been arrested for the murder of the two boys found in a BMW in Germiston, and the murder of a 42-year-old man in Naturena, has appeared in court.
He appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrates Court on Monday, July 13.
The bodies of two young boys were discovered at 6pm, on Wednesday, July 8, in a white BMW 316i, by members of the Germiston SAPS.
The man was arrested on July 9 in Naturena after the body of the 42-year-old man was discovered in his home in the suburb.
Lieut-Col Katlego Mogale from the Gauteng provincial police told the GCN that the boys, aged two and eleven years old, were the 42-year-old man’s son and nephew.
“The case, where the accused is facing three charges of murder, was postponed until July 20,” said Const Elizabeth Munguni, communications officer for the Mondeor SAPS.
“He was not asked to plead.”
The police are still awaiting the results of an autopsy report to establish the cause of death of the two boys.
