A TEENAGER was arrested today after an 18-year-old attendee at a mgidi traditional ceremony at Nkanga Village, Willowvale was murdered.
According to police, the two had a quarrel and the 19-year-old suspect allegedly killed the attendee by striking him with a battle axe on his upper body.
Police rushed to the scene and arrested the suspect.
The identity of the victim is being withheld as some of his relatives have not been informed of his death.
The suspect is due to appear in the Willowvale Magistrate’s Court soon this week on a charge of murder.
Traditional ceremonies are supposed to be registered at a local police station in advance so that police are able to patrol those homesteads to avoid crime, however this ceremony had not been registered.
