Spokesperson Wilfred Solomon Johannes said the circumstances behind the
occurrence, but authorities are probing an investigation.
“The body remains of the deceased
person have been taken to the Salt River state
mortuary to determine the cause of death” Solomons-Johannes.
Meanwhile on Sunday two children set
their house alight while playing with matches in Macassar.
It is alleged that the two children,
a two-year-old girl and her 17-year-old mentally disabled sister started the
fire after their mother locked them in the house while she went to the shabeen.
Wilfred Solomon Johannes said that
it was a regular occurrence for the woman to leave the children to go drinking.
Social workers are currently
investigating into the matter.
“The mother could possibly face
charges of child negligence, in terms of the Children’s Act” Solomons-Johannes added.
