A man and his wife were found dead in Soweto area, Kayole after dying from what appears to be carbon monoxide poisoning.
Milton Kitosi, 42, and his wife had slept with a lit charcoal jiko to warm their house on a cold night.
They were found dead after the man’s colleagues went to check on him after he failed to show up at work on Saturday and his phone went unanswered.
The colleagues went to his house and checked through the window to find two dead bodies on the bed.
The charcoal jiko was found beside the bed.
The two bodies were moved to city mortuary as police conduct investigation.

He was taken to Bliss Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
