Yet another domestic violence crime. Simply horrendous when parents use and abuse their children when relationships go wrong.

Obviously somebody is monitoring SA Police Facebook or has other dubvious means. Sometimes SAPOL puts information on facebook so that people avoid the area. I hope SAPOL notified nex-of-kin before they updated it on facebook.
It may be some time before the tragic circumstances are known.
