Durban - A Phoenix father has been left distraught after finding the bodies of his wife and two daughters at their Longcroft, Phoenix home on Friday morning. 

KwaZulu-Natal police spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Thulani Zwane, confirmed that the father made the gruesome discovery of his wife and daughter. The second daughter was found by police in a wardrobe, he said. 

Zwane said a case of murder had been opened and no arrests had been made. He said a post-mortem would be conducted to determine the cause of death.

It is alleged that they were gagged. 

When hearing the news of his eldest daughter's body being found, the man began screaming "let me go see my daughter."

Curious residents had gathered outside the home on Friday. 

The Phoenix community has been in shock since the discovery of the three bodies which were found in a flat in Phoenix on Friday.
