A five-month-old baby has died and his mother was hospitalised after a mysterious attack at their Soweto home last night.
According to one of the survivors, 19-year-old Lerato Sekoati, a gang broke into the small house in Mapetla at about 8.40pm. The three intruders were apparently accompanied by a woman who had covered her face to avoid being recognised. Using firearms to hold the Sekoati family hostage, the gang took Lerato's mother, Grace, and her five month old child into a bedroom. Then they allegedly poured petrol over them and set the house on fire.
The motive for this attack remains unknown.
