SUICIDE: Charles Smith is dead

Charles Smith, 50, was wanted by police and authorities after he allegedly stabbed his two daughters at their residence following his release on bail.

Smith was facing a charge of rape and was granted bail in December with strict conditions not to make contact with the victims or to visit their home in Tafelsig, Mitchells Plain.

It’s further alleged that Smith revisited the victim’s home and stabbed the two daughters, one aged 10, and then fled the scene and went on the run.
