Johannesburg - A 14-year-old boy from Machibini has been arrested for murder, Eastern Cape police said on Monday.
The teen allegedly severely assaulted a 17-year-old boy during a territorial fight last Wednesday, Major Zamukulungisa Jozana said.
The older boy later died in hospital.
"These boys believe that when you are from one area, you can't come and socialise in another area. So the deceased was not from the area. That's what started the fight," Jozana said.
The teenager would appear in the Mqanduli Magistrate's Court on Tuesday on a murder charge.
