A sixth high school pupil has been arrested for the murder of Thoriso Themane.
News24 earlier reported that five teenagers – one of them the son a retired police officer – were expected to appear in the Polokwane Magistrate's Court on Thursday following the brutal murder of Thoriso, whose bloody body was discovered in a street in Flora Park, Polokwane over the weekend.
The suspects were arrested on Tuesday afternoon. They are in Grades 9 and 10 and are each facing a murder charge.

UPDATE: Police nab five people for Limpopo mob murder
According to Mahlapahlapana, Thoriso was at a music rehearsal with friends before the events that led to his death. The family had left the house door unlocked on the evening of Thoriso's death, so he could come in without having to wake them. When they found he hadn't come back the next morning, the family went to church and, on their return, realised that something was wrong.
"If he was running late, he would always call," Mahlapahlapana said.
The family contacted Thoriso's friends before approaching the police, finally finding his body at Polokwane Provincial Hospital.
Upon hearing the news that Thoriso had been killed, Mahlapahlapana said they were "shocked to the marrow".

I hope they come out with a motive.
