POLICE are investigating a case of murder after a 25-year-old man was attacked and later murdered, allegedly by a group of pupils from a historic Blythswood school in Ngqamakhwe. The incident happened on Friday.
Butterworth police spokesman, Captain Jackson Manatha confirmed the incident this afternoon. “We can confirm that a man who was cutting wood near the school was attacked and murdered, allegedly by a group of pupils from this school,” said Manatha.
