EC teen stabbed to death

A 15-year-old boy has been stabbed to death, allegedly by an 18-year-old, in Ngqeleni near Mthatha, Eastern Cape police said on Thursday.

The teenagers were in a grazing field on Wednesday when they began to quarrel, Lt-Col Mzukisi Fatyela said.

The quarrel escalated and the older youth allegedly stabbed the younger boy to death.

The 18-year-old was arrested shortly afterwards. He was expected to appear in the Ngqeleni Magistrate's Court on Friday to face a charge of murder. - Sapa
