A grade 6 pupil from Bloemfontein who was stabbed to death at the weekend is expected to be buried on Friday.
Police spokesperson Brig Sam Makhele said the 14-year-old was allegedly stabbed during an argument with a 21-year-old man in Heidedal.
“According to information received, the victim was carrying a knife, so the suspect went inside his parents’ house and also took a knife and stabbed the victim in the back,” Makhele said.
The boy died in hospital.
