"Babies frozen!" - Daily Sun

"Horror in a kasi freezer ... 4 tiny bodies hidden under the meat and veg!" - front page lead, February 9 2015

Daily Sun (February 9 2015) - COPS and neighbours were horrified when they found four babies frozen solid.

The little bodies were buried under food in a deep freeze!

AND NOW A NEIGHBOUR CLAIMS THE HOMEOWNER TOLD HER NEVER TO OPEN THIS FREEZER.

Neighbours called cops on Saturday night to the horror house in Mthatha's New Brighton kasi.

The house belongs to a woman who reportedly went to Joburg to bury her boyfriend who died recently. It's said he was suffering from diabetes.

Dead babies were found in a deep freeze over the weekend. A source told the SunTeam that the homeowner told the neighbour to keep the house clean while she was away.

But she allegedly warned the neighbour not to open the freezer under any circumstances.

"The neighbour kept on cleaning, but because of the constant load shedding there was a smell coming out of the freezer," said the source.

"On Saturday morning, the neighbour decided to open the freezer to see what was causing the smell.

"She saw strange-looking dark plastic bags hidden at the bottom of the fridge under the vegetables and meat. When she opened one bag, she saw a baby's body.

"She ran out and called her relatives, who found two more dead babies in the freezer."

The source said neighbours weren't sure at first whether to call the homeowner or the cops.

Eventually they called the cops, who found a fourth dead baby in the fridge.

Lieutenant-Colonel Mzukisi Fatyela said that the bodies were taken to the state mortuary for post mortems.

"This is shocking to us," said Fatyela.

"You cannot keep bodies of humans in a fridge.

"There is something wrong taking place here.

"That is what we are investigating - to find out the motive behind all this."

Fatyela said the babies were aged between one to three months, but their genders weren't clear.

"A post mortem will identify the cause of death.

"An inquest docket has been opened at Ngangelizwe Police Station.

"No arrests were made, but police are still investigating."

The family refused to speak to the SunTeam.

They kept on hanging up all calls.
