Second suspect arrested in connection with Soweto schoolgirl’s murderThe 17-year-old was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning in White City, Soweto. That's great news. Sad that the gal is gonne forever Indeed d greatest news, sad because only a court of law to decide n is called 'Justice ⚖'. How is Justice ⚖ if it doesn't consider the views of victims? To me it will be great if we say those of such act should be kept in dungeons forever, for the sake of passed victims. How is it with no witnesses they can find suspect, but with SenzoMeyiwaFans and 4 witnesses you can't find-'Jack'?
