A 27-year-old man has been charged with murder and attempted murder this is after he murdered two young girls.  The girls were raped and murdered at their home when their friend who is 20-years-old left them alone while she went to church. 

The girls were found at the house of the 27-year-old suspect, whereby one girl had already died and the other was taken to hospital in a serious condition.

The cause of the deaths as well as the possibility that the girl might have been raped will be determined by a post mortem. 

Colonel Ronel Otto said the man appeared in court today on charges of murder, attempted murder, rape, kidnapping as well as housebreaking. 

Otto added that the suspect did not receive bail and therefore will remain in custody and the case has been remanded until the 11 October for further investigation.
