Police say the incident happened after the man’s teenage daughter opened a case of rape against him.
A man from Limpopo, Malungane village near Namakgale outside Phalaborwa, allegedly shot and killed his partner aged 38, her visiting niece aged 27 and attempted to murder his 16-year-old daughter before allegedly turning the gun on himself and committing suicide on Monday at around 9pm, the police said.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said the suspect was being sought by members of the family violence, child protection and sexual offences unit after his teenage daughter, whom he shot and injured, had earlier opened a case of rape against him.“The victim allegedly visited her father at Palesa section, Namakgale on 13 June 2020 and requested him to train her on how to drive a motor vehicle.
“The deceased’s licensed 9mm pistol was found on the scene and has been confiscated by the police,” Mojapelo said.“As the province is currently fighting the scourge of gender-based violence, incidents of this nature, where a man rapes his daughter and then goes on to commit horrendous crimes against the vulnerable members of the society, must be condemned in the strongest possible terms,” Ledwaba said.
