A 12-year-old boy has been arrested for stabbing two teenagers to death at a local school in oSizweni, this morning.
Captain Shooz Magudulela, police spokesperson, said the child had killed his two 15-year-old victims after an argument broke out between them.
“It is alleged the 12-year-old went home after the argument to collect a knife. He returned to school and fatally wounded the two 15-year-olds by stabbing them in the chest.”
Captain Magudulela said the suspect was currently being held at the oSizweni police station, awaiting the arrival of his parents, so he could be released into their custody.
Angered by the stabbing, oSizweni residents attempted to assault the school’s principal, as they felt their children were no longer safe in the school’s care.
To ensure he was not hurt, the school’s principal had to be removed by police.
Police investigations will be conducted into the matter.
