Johannesburg - A man who was robbed of his cellphone has been charged with murder after he shot one of the robbers in the back, police said on Monday.

The man - who was walking near the Holomisa Squatter Camp at 10:30 on Sunday - was approached by a group of men who stole his cellphone and fled on foot, said Captain Stephen Marais.

"It is alleged that the man chased the group and fired shots with a licenced pistol, killing one of them, an 18-year-old youth," said Marais.

The 39-year-old man was arrested on a charge of murder and would be kept at the Duncan Village police station.

He is expected to appear in the East London Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, said Marais.
