Eastern Cape police have arrested seven teenagers between the ages of 16 and 18 in connection with the murder of a 16-year-old boy in Gqeberha.

Police Spokesperson Sandra Janse van Rensburg says police attended to a complaint at Fairview on Saturday.

She says on arrival they found the body of a 16-year-old Micah Klaasen.

It’s alleged he was attacked by a group of unknown suspects.

He passed away on the scene.

The suspects will appear in court on Wednesday, while the four juvenile suspects will appear at Nerina Magistrate’s Court.
