“It is alleged that four men armed with knives confronted them and demanded money, at that stage a squabble ensued between the suspects and the deceased. Apparently the girlfriend tried to intervene; however one of the suspects smacked her in the face and ordered her to shut up” lieutenenant Olebogeng Tawana said.
The girlfriend ran for her life to seek help from the neighbours.
“Meanwhile the suspects stabbed the deceased two times in the lower body. They dragged him to a nearby house and throw him in a toilet pit” Tawana said.
The girlfriend of the deceased contacted the police after she realised that her boyfriend did not reach home and he do not answer his cellphone.

While the police were busy with the search, the yard owner of the toilet in which the body of the deceased was allegedly thrown into approached the police and informed them about unusual noise in the toilet.
