Overview
- Police arrested a 17-year-old at a local hospital on Saturday and say he is linked to the killing of a 16-year-old in Pharare, Limpopo.
- Officers say the teen met them at the scene Friday and led them to a bush where the victim's naked, headless body was found, with her head later located buried nearby.
- The suspect told police that masked occupants of a blue VW Polo forced him and the girl into the car at gunpoint and that he escaped after suffering knife wounds.
- Investigators report seizing a weapon believed to have been used in the crime, and specialist units have taken up the case.
- Because the suspect is a minor, a probation officer will assess him to set the court process, and police say their investigation continues.
