Man to appear in court for Rustenburg pupil's stabbing death
A 19-year-old man is expected to appear in the Rustenburg Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of murder and attempted murder.
He was arrested in connection with the murder of an 18-year-old pupil at a bus rank in Rustenburg on Friday.
Police say the pupil was stabbed to death.
“Upon arrival at the scene, the police found members of the community gathered around a motionless body covered with a blanket," says police spokesperson Sam Tselanyane.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was stabbed with a sharp object on his throat.
“According to bystanders, the victim was a learner from a High School in Rustenburg. He allegedly fought with another pupil from the other school who in turn recruited a group of other learners to attack the victim's group.”
The 18-year-old was certified dead at the scene.
“Another learner, who was also stabbed, was transported to a local hospital by the Emergency Medical Rescue Services," says Tselanyane.
