Durban - An 18-year-old suspect has admitted to raping his two sisters and brother, the Mercury newspaper reported on Thursday.
The Umzinto teenager was upset because their father was in jail for raping his sisters and he blamed them for this, the paper reported.
He cannot be named to protect the identity of the victims.
According to the State's indictment, before Judge Achmat Jappie, the accused had decided to take revenge.
