A 52 year old man, Senyatse Lucas Phasha, has been declared wanted by the police for allegedly killing his four kids at ga-Pasha village, Polokwane, South Africa.
The bodies of the kids were found at two different locations in the area.
Before allegedly killing his four kids on Monday, February 17, 2020, Lucas had taken to Facebook to accuse his children’s mother of cheating and infecting him with HIV.
The suspect allegedly informed a neighbor on Tuesday morning, 18 February 2020, about the murders and also indicated to him where the bodies were buried.

The police were then informed and on arrival, the lifeless bodies of three children aged 9, 7 and 5 were found in the nearby bushes and that of a 3 year old was found next to the local mountain, at about 3 kilometers from the first scene.
Preliminary police investigations indicate that the suspect stopped the vehicle transporting the kids from school on Monday 17 February 2020. The driver, who apparently knows the father, stopped and let the kids go with their father.

• Katlego Pasha, 9 year old boy
• Joyce Pasha, 7 year old girl
• Tshepo Phasha, 5 year old girl
