The mysterious Crocodile Stone is one of the most unusual objects in the famous Vat Phou Temple complex, with much speculation that it was used as an altar for human sacrifice.
“She died without us knowing why she killed her children. We will never know the truth.” These were the words of a devastated Mthundezi Simayile, who buried four of his grandchildren on Friday. Two days later, he received the shocking news that his daughter, suspected child killer Nomboleko Simayile, had died at All Saints Hospital.
Nomboleko Noludwe Simayile, the Ngcobo mother who allegedly bludgeoned her four children to death with a sledgehammer, has died. This was confirmed by provincial police spokesperson Brig Tembinkosu Kinana. Kinana said the 32-year-old fell ill in police custody on Sunday afternoon. “But [she] did not say what the nature of the sickness was,” he said.
