Johannesburg - Police in the Eastern Cape are investigating a case of murder and four cases of attempted murder after a suspect stabbed one person to death at a taxi rank in Aliwal North.
Footage of the incident went viral on social media this week, with the suspect seen squaring to a number of police officers.It is only when one of the police officers trips the suspect that he is stopped, much to the awe of the watching public. In a similar incident last Thursday, Joburg police officers had to shoot a bare-chested knife-wielding man after he attacked motorists along the N17 and Wemmer Pan Road in Johannesburg.News24 reported that the man had used a brick to shatter the window of a car and said the man was shot as he chased a motorist, wielding a knife.
“It is alleged that the suspect, 28, attacked and killed a 55-year-old man while at the same time severely stabbing four other people aged between 21 and 38. The motive for the attack is not yet known. “Police arrested the suspect on the scene. He appeared in the Aliwal North District Court on Monday on a charge of murder and four counts of attempted murder,” said Bojabotseha.
