What is this world turning into, millennium children? A
seventeen year-old student has been arrested for stabbing his 24-year-old
teacher to death.
According
to reports, the boy stabbed his teacher last Thursday in full view of a class
that was in the process of writing an examination at Ramotshere Moiloa High
School in Zeerust‚ North West, South Africa.
Photos
of the boy brandishing a knife before carrying out the crime have now been
released as well as photos of the injured teacher lying on his hospital bed
before his death have also been shared online.
It
was gathered that the teacher named Gadimang Daniel Mokolobate reprimanded the
student on Wednesday, September 12, for skipping the queue at the school’s
feeding programme. The next day, September 13, the boy arrived at school armed
with the weapon.
The
department of basic Education national spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga, said:
On
Thursday, he didn’t come to school on time. He arrived at 11am and went into
the classroom where other learners were writing.
Two
teachers were in the classroom invigilating. He approached the teacher who had
reprimanded him yesterday and stabbed him in the chest several times.
The
boy ran away shortly after stabbing his teacher but a security guard and other
students tackled him.
According
to the department, in March the suspect was given a warning for coming to
school in possession of a knife.
Police
confirmed that the teen was in police custody and would be charged with murder.
