Taung - A 29-year-old man is expected to appear in the Taung Magistrate's Court on Monday, 29 December 2014 for the alleged murder of his 5-year-old son.

North West police spokesperson Sabata Mokgwabone says the incident took place on Wednesday at approximately 22:00 in Maphoetsile village, Taung.  
 
The suspect allegedly locked himself and his son in a back room at his grandmother's house.
 
According to the police's information, one of the children then went looking for the suspect and his son. When there was no response, family members were alerted. It is alleged that they peeped through the window and saw the boy hanging from the roof rafters. The boy’s father allegedly opened the door and ran away.
 
The police were summoned to the scene where they found the boy’s body inside the room. The suspect came back later and handed himself over to the police at the scene. The motive of the killing is unknown at this stage.
