On Friday, 22-year-old Nthabiseng Letswalo returned to her mother Thembi Letswalo’s house after being admitted to hospital with severe stab wounds. Heavily sedated she just managed to walk around the house but remained oblivious to her surroundings, also completely in the dark about the death of her sister and cousin.
“We don’t know what to tell her. All she keeps asking is where Lerato and Priska are. She wants to find out why they won’t come home to see her,” said her older sister, Dimakatso Mathibela, speaking to the Saturday Star.
“All we can do for now is tell her that they are in ICU and the doctors won’t let us see them.”
Mathibela said her 18-year-old sister Lerato Letswalo, her 23-year-old cousin Priska Movit and Priska’s 6-month-old baby Bokamoso Movit were allegedly strangled to death by their cousins after they came to visit the family that day. Mathibela recounted the gruesome scene that greeted her mom and sister, Nthabiseng when they arrived home from work on Thursday. Nthabiseng had accompanied her mom to work that day. Mathibela’s cousins arrived asking for something to eat but there was nothing in the house.
Thembi Letswalo gave one of her nephews R20 to buy bread. After that the 52-year-old woman left the property to go to work.
