After receiving a threatening message from his wife, the dead bodies of his wife and three children were found.
On Thursday, July 13 Mr Mandla Mhlanga (40) confirmed that he did receive an SMS from his wife Ms Pearl Mhlanga and it said; “If you don’t answer my calls, you will be sorry.”
According to information received from the police, Mhlanga stormed out of the family house in Skiatos Complex in Reyno Ridge on Saturday afternoon, July 8 after the couple had an argument.
The children spent some time with a relative before they returned home to their mother.
Pearl tried to call her husband numerous times, but he never answered his phone.
Mr Mandla Mhlanga is comforted by a friend and a family member after he was notified that his wife and children were dead.
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 spent 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.
