Johannesburg – A 28-year-old man was stabbed inside a KFC shop in central Johannesburg, and later died, Gauteng police said on Monday.

Three men allegedly tried to rob him, said Warrant Officer Xoli Mbele.

He then ran into a shop on the corner of Klein and Noord streets.

“[The] Victim ran inside the KFC where one of the suspects followed and stabbed him once in the upper body.”

He was taken to hospital but died on arrival.

A 31-year-old man was arrested on Sunday in connection with his murder, said Mbele.

He would appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court soon.
