THE family of a Humansdorp matric student, who dreamed of being a lawyer, is reeling after he was allegedly stabbed to death by six of his classmates.

- BRANDON NEL

When father Chris Plaatjie was told his only son had been stabbed at school, he dropped everything at work and drove to him, praying it was not too late.

But when he arrived at Humansdorp Senior Secondary School, his 18-year-old son, Liyolo Wakeni, lay sprawled on the floor, his body blood-soaked and lifeless.

And now that haunting image keeps replaying in his mind - over and over.
