On Saturday morning Samora Machel residents rushed into the home of Buyelwa Bunyonyo to tell her that her 16-year-old son Xola Bunyonyo was badly hurt. After rushing to the area where Buyelwa’s son was, she realised that he was dead. The 16-year-old boy had been bludgeoned to death with an axe.
SAPS spokesperson Ntomboxolo Sitshitshi says that it was alleged that the boy and some of his friends was murdered after a man had caught him breaking into his home.
Sitshitshi said that “on Friday the deceased and his friends allegedly robbed a person of his cell phone and money and him on his arm. The man managed to grab one of them; the 16-year-old Xola Bunyonyo was then assaulted and died at the scene.”
A 27-year-old man appeared in the Athlone Magistrates Court yesterday.
