South African private police inspect the bodies of the twelve teenagers that died March 24. South African police on Saturday arrested four male suspects in connection with a teargas attack on a packed disco which sparked a stampede, killing 12 schoolchildren and injuring 45. The names and ages of the four were not released. The arrests were made as four critically-injured teenagers were fighting for their lives in hospital after suffering severe respiratory problems and fractures in Friday's incident. About 600 youngsters aged between 11 and 16 were partying at the Throb nightclub in the mainly-Indian suburb of Chatsworth outside Durban on Friday afternoon when someone set off a teargas canister, police said.
