A Zimbabwean woman is convicted in Johannesburg of poisoning her two young children after she told relatives she planned to kill herself and the children. According to reports from South African outlets, the case centres on incidents in a Johannesburg park involving the children, after which the woman’s actions led to a criminal trial. One account states that the accused contacts her sister and informs her she is “in trouble,” adding that she intends to commit suicide and take the children with her. The other report describes the conviction and notes the trial’s life-altering impact, with sentencing postponed following the guilty verdict. The exact details of the poison and the procedural timeline are not fully specified across the provided summaries, but both sources agree on the core events: the poisoning of two children, the role of the mother’s communicated intention, and the outcome of a guilty verdict with sentencing delayed. The matter proceeds to sentencing after the conviction.
