This after it came to light that the brother who was arrested for murdering his two sisters one of whom had custody of his children - allegedly tried to gain access to the magistrate's house.

A highly-placed source closed to the investigation said Ederees Smith was stopped at the entrance to the magistrate's house by security.

Days later he would go to his children's school in Portlands, Mitchells Plain, where his two sisters were waiting for his two boys after they were given custody.

There he allegedly shot and killed his sisters Zainab Jacobs and Gouwah Smith-Newman and injured a nearby child.
