60 Years In For Man Who Killed His Mother, Sister And 9-Year-Old Niece

On Monday, the Limpopo High Court, sitting in Polokwane, sentenced 26-year-old Tlou Milford Seanego to a total of 60 years in prison.

Seanego received 20 years’ imprisonment for each of the three counts of murder, related to the deaths of his mother, sister, and nine-year-old niece. This tragic event unfolded in Breda Village, situated in the Waterberg District.

According to Col Malesela Ledwaba, the police spokesperson, the incident occurred on July 10. The court heard that Seanego had a heated argument with his 19-year-old sister.

During the confrontation, he attempted to assault her, prompting their 59-year-old mother to intervene. Seanego then took a sharp object and fatally attacked both his mother and sister.

Unfortunately, his nine-year-old niece, who was present during the incident, was also brutally murdered. Seanego fled the scene on foot, leaving behind a horrifying situation.
