Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A 38-year Free State woman has been arrested on a murder charge following the deaths of her teenage sons on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli said the children, aged 15 and 19, arrived from school to eat the food she had cooked.<\/p>\n

“On Thursday, 1 June 2023, the two boys arrived home from school and ate food allegedly cooked by their mother. The two started feeling sick and were taken to a local hospital in a private vehicle. Upon arrival, they were taken to an emergency room but lost their lives,” said Kareli.<\/p>\n

“The 38-year-old mother went home, and shortly after her arrival, she was also rushed to the hospital with the same symptoms. Two cases of murder were opened, and the 38-year-old mother was placed under arrest while still in hospital,” said Kareli.<\/p>\n

When asked why the police suspected the mother was behind their deaths, Kareli said they were still investigating and could not reveal more details at this stage.<\/p>\n
