HUMANSDORP <\/strong>– Six teenagers are expected to appear in the Humansdorp Magistrate’s Court on 2 October for their second court appearance after allegedly fatally stabbing Liyolo Wakweni (18) during an altercation at Humansdorp Secondary School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Prosecuting Authority regional spokesperson Luxolo Tyali confirmed that murder suspects Gregon Stevens (18) and Lathita Buzani (18) appeared before the Humansdorp Magistrate’s Court on 25 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Their case was postponed to 2 October for formal bail application,” said Tyali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said that since the four additional suspects are minors, their identities cannot be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported<\/a>, on 23 September at about 08:15, a violent altercation at the school among learners left Wakweni with stab wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was declared dead at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police spokesperson Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli, the six suspects aged between 16 and 18 were traced and located near the gravel road leading to Oyster Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were questioned and later detained on a charge of murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Humansdorp Secondary School will host a comfort service and wreath-laying ceremony in honour of Wakweni on 26 September at 14:00 at the school’s hostel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
