The victims, aged three years and 11 months, were discovered dead by their mother at her rented house. The mother is said to have immediately notified the police, prompting an immediate search.
Despite deploying more officers on the ground and helicopters to monitor most parts of the city, police efforts have yet to yield any results. "We do not have any leads at the moment. Officers are currently searching for the suspect," Francistown Police Station commander, Douglas Khumalo, told Mmegi this afternoon.
