A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the murder of his 35-year-old father.
Eastern Cape Police spokesman Captain Jackson Manatha said the trouble started on Wednesday after the man placed his saddle in his teenage son’s room at Cwebe village, Elliotdale.
“The suspect did not like what was done by his father and asked why he put the saddle in his room ... he then stabbed his father in the upper body,” he said.
Manatha said the teen was arrested and charged with murder.
He is expected to appear at the Elliotdale Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
