"About 30 minutes later Tsepo left. We didn’t follow him because we didn’t suspect anything was wrong, two hours later I received a phone call," Lucas said.

Tsepo told me he was sorry for what he had done. I went to the room and found Boitumelo and Tebogo. Their throats had been cut. There was blood everywhere."

For the rest of the night Tsepo was nowhere to be found and didn’t answer his phone."In the morning we got a call to say he had been found hanging in his room," said Lucas.

Tsepo’s mum was in the backyard room where Tsepo had hanged himself, but could not speak.
