Two people who were arrested in connection with the death of a 12-year-old boy in Coligny, North West, which was apparently the reason for violent protests in the area, are expected to appear in the town's magistrate's court on Friday. Police spokesperson Sabata Mokgwabone told News24 on Wednesday that the two, aged 26 and 33, were charged with murder. Residents claimed a farmer assaulted the boy after finding him in his maize field on Friday, City Press reported on Tuesday. When News24 visited the small town on Wednesday, residents were seen cleaning up what looked like a war-zone. The small town's main street was littered with rocks and glass.
