Bloemfontein - A Bloemfontein teenager, arrested for the alleged murder of his stepfather, is expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court today.
Free State police spokesperson Chaka Marope says the 17-year old boy was arrested on Sunday night at a house in Fichardt Park, and charged with murder. The motive behind the alleged murder is still unknown.
It is believed the boy and his stepfather were arguing when the attack took place.
Marope says the victim, whose name is known to OFM News but cannot be released as it will identify the minor accused, was stabbed five times and died at the scene.
He says police were called to the scene by the boy’s mother, who was not injured during the attack.
