The day of dramatic scenes at the court, included an appearance by yet another alleged teen killer as well as a scuffle between rival gang members. Police were kept busy as these rival gang members arrived at the same time to support their members.
The grade 11 Forest High school learner made his first appearance. The state says it will not be opposing bail nor will it pursue a premeditated murder charge against the suspect. National Prosecuting Authority Gauteng Spokesperson, Phindi Mjonondwane, says that the information they currently have does not suggest that the murder was premeditated.
“The information at our disposal currently doesn’t suggest that the murder was planned; hence he was charged with murder in terms of Section 51 of the Criminal Procedure Act instead of premeditated murder which is Section 51 of the Criminal Procedure Act. The investigations are on-going and so far we don’t have information that that suggest that the boy is a flight risk or a danger to society.”
Also making an appearance in the same courtroom, a 15-year-old boy accused of murdering Mondeor High school learner,
He should not be getting bail😡😡😡

Suspect arrested for slaying of Forest High School pupilGauteng police arrested a 19-year-old boy on Monday hours after he allegedly killed a pupil and stabbed two others at a high school in Johannesburg. Why does Timeslive refer to the 19-year old killer as a 'boy' when you referred to the 19-year old who was killed next to the N12 last week as a man? This 19-year old killer must be treated like a man, charged like a man and sent to prison like a man. Sad 20yrs old in grade 11 ?
