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 who allegedly killed the two men included three women, according to Limpopo Province police. Mobs often beat up and kill suspected thieves in South Africa, where many have lost faith in the justice system. Vigilante justice is common in South Africa, where tensions are high in townships over poor housing, services and crime. A couple of years ago, there was a wave of deadly mob attacks against foreigners, who were blamed for stealing jobs and rising crime.
