A South African teenager, 14, allegedly fatally attacked his own family members with an axe.
The teen's 30-year-old mother apparently died at the scene, the body of a three-month-old baby was later found in the bushes by cops and his grandmother (58) and his brother (5) died later at the Far East Rand Hospital in Springs.
The teenager's twin cousins managed to escape and alerted neighbours. He was found in a shack on Friday with his clothes covered in blood. After he led the people to the body of the baby in the bushes, he was badly beaten and had to be saved by police.
Community leader Achiel Dlamini, who caught the teenager on Friday, said that days before the murders, he had found the teenager carrying bags on the street.
"He told me that he had an argument with his grandfather and was going to live in Joburg.
"I told him he shouldn't do that and he promised to go back home.
"Two days later, I saw him with his mother at my shop and they seemed happy." But later he heard about the killings.
