The bodies of a 41-year-old father and his daughter, 2, and son, 3, were found in a room at the OR Tambo International Garden Court hotel yesterday.

Provincial police spokesperson Senior Superintendent Noxolo Kweza said this morning that police are investigating a suspected double murder and suicide case.

She said evidence at the scene suggested that Ashwin Moodley shot his daughter Tamesha and son Nikel before turning the gun on himself "at some unknown stage" after they had booked in on Saturday.

The three were found with bullet wounds to the head

It is understood that the mother of the children had approached Jeppe police for assistance about three months ago to report intimidation against her husband.
