Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two young children made a gruesome discovery on Sunday when they found the bodies of their mother and her boyfriend at their home in Polokwane, Limpopo police said.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said officers were called to the scene on Sunday at around 07:00. On arrival at the family home in Extension 133 in Seshego, they found Rachel Madubanya, 41, dead in the bedroom, Mojapelo said. She had bruises on her back.<\/p>\n

Mojapelo said Albert Mokgonyana, 45, was found hanging from the roof rafters in the passage.<\/p>\n

He said police suspected that Mokgonyana had assaulted Madubanya and later hanged himself.<\/p>\n

“The two bodies were only discovered in the morning by the two children, aged 9 and 13,” Mojapelo said.<\/p>\n

Limpopo police commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe condemned the incident.<\/p>\n

“We are very saddened by the incident and still urge community members who are experiencing domestic challenges to seek help immediately instead of resorting to violence,” Hadebe said.<\/p>\n

Police are investigating the incident.<\/p>\n
