Three men will appear in court on Friday in connection with the kidnapping and murder of seven family members from KwaDukuza in KwaZulu-Natal.
Police said the seven aged between 20 and 83 were abducted from a house at a lot in Newtown, Newark on Tuesday, killed and abandoned in a veld in Melmoth.
Provincial spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda said reports indicate a domestic helper who worked for the family sounded the alarm when she arrived at work on Wednesday, and found the house broken into with the family and a vehicle missing.
