The five suspects appeared at the Randburg Magistrates Court on Wednesday, and they face - among others - charges of murder, attempted murder and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The family of Katlego Mphuthi who was killed in a suspected vigilante attack in Diepsloot on Friday night said their troubled boy did not deserve to die in such a gruesome manner.
Eyewitness News understands that on Friday night, an armed forum chased a group of boys across the neighbourhood. It’s alleged the boys had been terrorising the community with petty crimes.
