SHOOT: The boyfriend threatened to kill her and the children if she told anyone, so she decided to rather kill them herself?
A Pietermaritzburg mother was so afraid of her boyfriend, who had been arrested for abusing her child, that she allegedly slit her two young children's throats and then tried to take her own life yesterday.
Her brother told The Times that his sister was afraid for her life after elders in the village had her boyfriend arrested at the weekend.
"I know she was scared to face the future," said the brother. "The boyfriend threatened to kill her and the children if she told anyone about [the abuse].
''She was worried about the children and she wanted to kill herself also," he said.
The woman's brother said: "I saw a trail of blood leading out of the kraal, and I followed it for about a kilometre.
