Three in court for train violence

Three security guards are due to appear in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court today in connection with the spate of train violence over the past few weeks. At least 18 people have died after they were thrown from moving trains in Gauteng. The three accused were arrested in Ivory Park and have been positively linked to the security sector. This brings to 11 the total number of suspects arrested.

Meanwhile, train violence does not appear to be restricted to South Africa. British police have arrested ten youths for an attack on passengers on a London train. A spokesperson told the BBC more than 20 officers were sent to the King's Cross Thameslink station to deal with the incident.
