Judgment in the formal bail application of 19-year-old Forest High School learner in Turffontein, is expected to be handed down today in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court. The Grade 11 learner faces one murder charge and two of attempted murder for allegedly stabbing three fellow learners - one of whom died. He fled the scene and police later arrested him in Dobsonville, Soweto.
