While the motive is currently unknown, police say they cannot rule out domestic violence.A family attack, described as horrific, happened on Monday morning in Limpopo, where a man was beheaded and a woman and her child were severely injured, allegedly by a male family member.
The Limpopo provincial commissioner of police, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, said he was shocked over a “horrific attack” that happened at Tshidimbini village outside Thohoyandou, allegedly by a male family member.“Such senseless, cruel, and inhumane brutality has no place in our society, and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms. No one has a right to take anybody’s life, even with the slightest provocation,” said Lieutenant General Hadebe.
“Upon arrival at the scene, they came across a human head at the gate, and when they proceeded to the house, they found the decapitated body of a 41-year-old man, tied with a rope,” Mashaba said.A 32-year-old woman and her 10-year-old daughter were already transported to the hospital after the same family member also allegedly attacked them.The family member, a 38-year-old man, was arrested at the scene in connection with the incident.
“Police further seized items that included a hammer, spade, and knife believed to have been used in the commission of the crime,” Mashaba said.
