Minor accused in Themane murder to remain in custody
Seven minor accused will remain in custody after appearing in a Polokwane court in connection with the murder of Thoriso Themane on Friday.
Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in Limpopo, Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi, says the case has been postponed to next month.
"The case has been postponed for a formal bail application," says Malabi-Dzhangi.
The court appearance today follows the addition of one minor who was later arrested in connection with Themane's brutal murder earlier this month.
This brings the total number of minor accused to seven.
The 28-year-old Themane died after being viciously beaten, allegedly at the hands of a group of teenagers, who attacked him as he made his way home last month.
The killing of Themane was seen in a video that went viral, where the video showed the deceased being dragged by a group of teenagers after being assaulted at Flora Park in Polokwane.
