A man (31) who was arrested for murder is expected to appear in the Christiana Magistrate’s Court on 19 August 2024. The suspect allegedly killed his co-worker (27) after a quarrel ensued between them.
The North West police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Amanda Funani said according to reports, the victim was visiting his two co-workers, who are brothers at Geluksoord Township, near Christiana. Funani said they all went to a local tavern, where a quarrel ensued between the two brothers.
“This comes after the elder brother took his younger brother’s cell phone and refused to give it back to him. The trio went back to the house, where the brothers continued to fight. The aggressive elder brother allegedly stabbed the victim with a knife on the upper body when trying to separate them.
“The police were summoned to the scene, where the victim was certified dead. The suspect was arrested and charged with murder,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Commissioner, Brigadier Tshenolo Tlotleng, thanked the police for their rapid response that led to the arrest. Tlotleng urged the community members to solve their differences amicably rather than resorting to violence.
