“This morning (Saturday), his mother, with assistance from three of her brothers and a 17-year-old neighbour, tracked the accused to his father’s residence.

“They bound his hands behind his back with a metal chain secured with a padlock. His family began to beat him in the house before they dragged him outside. Members of the community allegedly joined in on the attack. The key for the padlock was handed over to Police on the scene by the teenager’s uncle,” he explained

FAMILY TAKEN IN FOR QUESTIONING

Five people, including the deceased’s mother were transported to the Verulam SAPS for questioning.

The teenager was also accused of allegedly raping a second minor child in the area. No criminal cases were registered in both incidents (including the one where he is accused of raping his sister).

Balram added that residents complained that the deceased was responsible for multiple house break-ins and invasions.

Police are reportedly investigating a case of murder.
