There have been no arrests yet in the murder investigation of 16-year-old Lunga Zwelo Nkabinde, who had traces of the extremely toxic substance Aldicarb found in his system during the post-mortem examination.
Aldicarb is said to pose a major risk to humans due to the banned substance’s high toxicity levels.
