A schoolboy in Krudersdorp, South Africa stabbed a fellow student to death and two gardeners on Monday morning (August 19) with a sword apparently high on drugs according to News 24.

The boy, dressed like drummer Joey Jordison of Slipknot, was wearing a black balaclava over a face covered in black paint, killing the pupil just before the start of school assembly.

"He stabbed one of the schoolkids in the neck and he died. He then went further and stabbed a gardener in the back and another gardener in the face. They were taken to hospital in serious conditions," sated Captain Jacob Raboroko of the Johannesburg police.

The boy has been arrested since the murders have occurred.
