She then proceeded to send him the message. Mhlanga read the message and became concerned.

Mhlanga was not at home when the incident happened, as he was spending time at his family house.

On Monday morning, July 10, when the bodies of his family members were found he was notified about the incident by his in-laws.

When he arrived on scene he could not believe his eyes as the house where his children once ran up and down the stairs was now flooded with policemen and detectives.

Initially, on July 10, the domestic worker that works at the Mhlanga family house in Skiatos Complex in Cancer Street, Reyno Ridge, noticed the red Jeep Cherokee parked outside, doors locked and all the curtains in the house drawn, which the employee found odd.

The domestic worker knocked a couple of times, and there was no answer, and it was unlike the Mhlanga family to not open the doors. Concerned, she contacted the mother to now deceased Mhlanga to notify her about her concern.
