9 May 2025- A man (25) briefly appeared in Vereeniging Magistrate’s Court facing two counts of murder. It is alleged that the accused, Brazea Daniel Mogudi, allegedly killing his mother, Dikeledi Mogudi (54) and his brother, Ntathile Mogudi (16).
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson in Gauteng, Lumka Mahanjana, it is alleged that on 4 May 2025, at approximately pm, in Henley on Klip, a neighbour heard a commotion coming from the Mogudi residence. Mahanjana said when the neighbour went outside to investigate, he saw the accused on top of his younger brother, who was lying on the ground.
“The accused’s mother was nearby, screaming for help and shouting, “He is killing him!” The neighbour called out to the community for assistance. Although members of the community responded, they were unable to enter the property as the gate was locked.
“By the time help arrived, the accused had already fled the scene. The police, Community Policing Forum (CPF) and emergency services were called to the scene, however, both victims were declared dead on arrival,” she said.
Mahanajana further said that, shortly after the incident, the accused allegedly reported himself to the Meyerton Police Station, where he was subsequently arrested. She added that the matter has been postponed to 12 May 2025, for the accused to consult with his attorney.
