A mother and her eight year old son burnt to death this morning after two petrol bombs were hurled at their house in Kalksteenfontein in Bishop Lavis.
Eyewitnesses say the residents were asleep when the petrol bombs were thrown through the back and front windows of the house.
Captain Marie Louw says the boy’s 10 year old brother managed to escape and is unharmed.
The teenage sister sustained burn wounds and was taken to Tygerberg Hospital.
Louw says two other brothers, aged 17 and 16 years old, have burn wounds on their feet.
