Six people face murder charges after they allegedly stoned to death two young men suspected of stealing a mobile phone in South Africa. The group, including three women, allegedly killed the pair on Sunday evening, Limpopo Province police say. They have urged people not to take the law into their own hands. Correspondents say mobs often beat up and kill suspected thieves in South Africa, where many have lost faith in the justice system. "The victims were allegedly accused of robbing a woman of her phone on Saturday. The alleged robbery of the phone was not reported to the police," Limpopo police spokesperson Lt-Col Mohale Ramatseba said in a statement. "The taking of the law by the community into their own hands is strongly condemned," he added. "Any person suspected to have been involved in criminal activities should be reported to the police so that they can be prosecuted in the courts of law." Source: BBC
