A case against a 22-year-old man was postponed by Jan Kempdorp Magistrates Court on Wednesday, Northern Cape police said. Letlhogonolo Thomas was subsequently arrested by Jan Kempdorp police after he allegedly stabbed two men to death. The carnage took place at Valspan, near Jan Kempdorp on Saturday at a local tavern.

The suspect was allegedly involved in an argument with Jakob Maragoe (19) over a girlfriend and stabbed him in a chest. Maragoe died on the scene and his friend, Michael Matheatau (24) tried to mediate, but he was also stabbed to death by the suspect.

Police arrested the suspect afterwards and he briefly appeared before court. His case was postponed until 18 August 2015 and the suspect will remain in custody.
