HOUSE OF HORROR!

LAST month a man was stabbed to death in his house, allegedly by his girlfriend.

The woman was arrested and taken to jail, but then her eight-year-old boy was murdered as well.

He was allegedly strangled by the woman’s friend.

Now the house is empty and the backyarders are thinking of leaving the yard. They say strange things are happening in the house.

“We are scared. We don’t know what’s going on in there,” said tenant Edson Makwakwa.

“The lights go on and off during the night all by themselves. We often hear dishes falling in the middle of the night. We can’t sleep. We’re thinking of moving out.”

Another tenant said: “We are worried that the empty house will be vandalised.”

They said the families of the people who died there must come and fetch their spirits.

Daily Sun spoke to the family of the murdered boy, Tebogo Khonou.

“We couldn’t get in because the house was locked,” said Mathapelo Khonou (19), the boy’s sister.

Mathapelo said her brother left with a man to watch TV two weeks ago.

“We were worried when Tebogo didn’t come home. We were told he left with the man,” said Mathapelo.

“When we asked the man where Tebogo was, he told us he gave him money to buy snacks and that was the last time he saw him.”

Then the man went to the Tembisa Police Station in Ekurhuleni to confess that he had strangled the boy and he was arrested.

The boy’s body was found under a bed in the house.

Captain Manyazda Ralidzivha confirmed that a man was arrested for murder and made a second appearance at Tembisa Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

The woman who is accused of stabbing her boyfriend to death is out on bail.

She told Daily Sun she didn’t know what was happening at the house because she’s living with a relative in Mpumalanga.
