Two children aged 3 and 10 died after allegedly eating porridge, chicken feet and wheat. It is alleged that a woman (32) from Regogorile in Sonop, outside Brits, cooked a meal for the family on 17 November 2023. The North West police spokesperson, Brig Sabata Mokgwabone said, all family members, including their neighbours’ three children, ate the meal and everybody went to sleep.
“The children aged between 2 and 17, became ill and vomited in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18 November 2023. An ambulance was called, but one of the children was declared dead at the scene, while others including the neighbours’ children as well as the woman who cooked the meal, were taken to Brits Hospital for medical attention.
“Regrettably, the second child died at the hospital, while two other children were later transferred to George Mukhari Hospital. The police have opened an inquest docket for investigation,” he said.
