The family of a 16 year old Soweto teen who was shot and killed said that they have welcomed the arrest of the policeman.

However the student constable may be arrested, this incident does not bring any closure to the family.

Thato Mokoka was shot several times in front of his family at his Dobsonville home on Tuesday.

Police were responding to a tip off that the teen was allegedly terrorising the community with an illegal firearm.
