Court officials on Tuesday laid various swords and masks on a table just before a court started sentencing a teenager Morne Harmse.

Alleged sword killer Morne Harmse is expected to appear in the Krugersdorp Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.

Cutting a lone figure in court on Tuesday, alleged sword killer Morne Harmse smiled only when his family waved at him from the public gallery.

The 18-year-old pupil who allegedly killed a fellow schoolboy with a sword was declared fit to stand trial by a court on Friday.
