HUMANSDORP – 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.
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.
“Their case was postponed to 2 October for formal bail application,” said Tyali.
He further said that since the four additional suspects are minors, their identities cannot be revealed.
As previously reported, on 23 September at about 08:15, a violent altercation at the school among learners left Wakweni with stab wounds.
He was declared dead at the scene.
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.
They were questioned and later detained on a charge of murder.
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.
