Limpopo Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe said she was disturbed after discovering that three teenagers were allegedly involved in a murder case. Police said the suspects are between the ages of 15 and 17 and they were arrested in connection with the hijacking and murder of an e-hailing driver in Limpopo.
SAPS spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba said the Bolt driver's lifeless body was found in the Westernburg area on October 9.
He said the first suspect, a 17-year-old boy, was arrested on Tuesday in Ladanna, outside Polokwane, after an intelligence-led operation.
"Two of the 17-year-old?s accomplices, aged 15 and 16, were arrested on Friday, after they handed themselves to the police, accompanied by their parents,"said Ledwaba.
He explained that the trio had requested a ride and were picked up by the deceased.
?It is alleged along the way they stabbed the driver to death and afterwards burnt and dumped the body on a newly developed site near a place of safety shelter in the Westenburg Policing area."
Ledwaba said the victim has been identified and the hijacked motor vehicle was found abandoned on the park at Ladine in Polokwane.
General Hadebe said it was disturbing to discover that children were involved in this such a crime.
"All of the arrested suspects in this horrendous crime were found to be minors, which is very disturbing that our children are now involved in such criminal activities.This exhibits an unbelievable lack of moral fibre.?
