A 17-Year-Old Boy Has Taken The Life Of His Bestfriend Over A Woman The victim has been identified as Phehello Mpele.
He was allegedly stabbed to
death after an argument over a girlfriend in Gauteng, South Africa.
The incident happened at Phase
3 (Cape Gate), Boipatong, on Monday, February 19, 2024.
According to police
spokesperson, Thembeka Maxambela, authorities responded to a call regarding
Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) around 2:00 AM, only to discover Phehello Mpele with
a fatal stab wound upon arrival at the scene.
According to him, the
altercation allegedly stemmed from a dispute over a girl, culminating
tragically in the loss of a young life.
The grieving mother of the boy,
Mimi Mpele, in an interview with journalists on Wednesday, said she is resolute
in her pursuit of truth.
She questions the narrative
presented, doubting the validity of the ‘girlfriend’ explanation put forth by
the suspect.
Expressing disbelief, she emphasises
her son’s amiable nature and refutes the notion that such a trivial dispute
could lead to his demise.
"My son had many friends,
including girls. I do not believe that he died because of an argument over a
girl. That is just a made-up story, the boy must just tell the truth about why
he killed my son. If they were fighting, why does he not have even the
slightest of injuries?” she asked.
Meanwhile, the suspect appeared
in the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
The case was postponed for further
investigations and the suspect remains behind bars.
