Durban – The Eshowe social worker, charged with the murder of his six relatives, was remanded in custody until his bail application on Thursday in the Eshowe Magistrate’s Court.
Last month, elderly couple Octavia and Christopher Khumalo (pictured), Octavia and Christopher Khumalo, their daughter Mbali Khumalo, 37, and her son Thabo Khumalo, 8, as well as their relatives, Snothile Hlongwane, 17, and Anothando Sgampu, were shot and killed – allegedly by Christopher’s nephew – a social worker.
A nine-year-old girl, who is said to be a family relative, survived the shooting because she was allegedly in another room of the house.
