A father who is allegedly being investigated for sexually molesting his twin girls has been denied their custody
A father accused of sexually molesting his three-year-old twin daughters lost an urgent court bid to regain custody, interdict his arrest and stop the mother from opening further criminal cases against him.
The Pretoria High Court ruled that the children's best interests must be protected while investigations proceeded.
The father approached the High Court with the intention to restore his primary custody of his twin daughters, interdict his arrest and bar the mother from laying further criminal charges against him
Acting Judge M Haskins refused to interfere with the criminal investigation, and ruled that courts cannot instruct police on whether to arrest or summon a suspect, and that halting criminal proceedings would let suspects control the justice system.
