Springs couple back in court─── 05:26 Fri, 22 Aug 2014
Johannesburg - A man and his wife who allegedly assaulted and kept their five children captive in their home for several years are expected to appear in the Springs Magistrate's Court on Friday.
The 36-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of his family members, was arrested in May after his 11-year-old son fled the family's house in Springs and ran to a neighbour's house to beg for help.
The neighbours then called police.
His wife previously appeared in court on July 4, where the court ruled she and her husband could not have contact with their children.
The 36-year-old mother was released on R2000 bail.
