LIMPOPO –  The 36-year-old man who allegedly killed his four sons by slitting their throats appeared in the Magatle magistrate’s court today.

He has been charged with four counts of murder.

The killings happened last month after the man and his sons, aged between four and 13, returned from Gauteng, where the boys had visited their mother.

It is reported that the man made his youngest son call his mother while the attack took place.

The mother then called her parents and asked them to inform the police. The man then tried to commit suicide after the murders.

The case has been remanded to 15 October and he remains in custody.
