5 May 2025– A security guard briefly appeared before the Schweizer Reneke Magistrate’s Court on 2 May 2025, for the alleged murder of Kuni Daniel Setsetse (42). The accused, Kilile Dail (36), was arrested before midnight on 1 May 2025.
The North West police spokesperson, Colonel Adele Myburgh said initial information indicated that Dail was on duty as a security guard at a local filling station when he got involved in an argument with the victim and his friends, who had a challenge with withdrawing the money from an Automated Teller Machine (ATM). Myburgh said it was during the argument that Dail allegedly stabbed Setsetse on the upper body with a knife.
“Setsetse was rushed to a local hospital where he was declared dead. Dail was granted a R500 bail and his case was postponed until 10 June 2025,” she said.
Meanwhile, the acting North West Police Commissioner, Major General Patrick Asaneng said this yet another senseless murder, which could and should not have happened taking into consideration the circumstances under which it happened. Asaneng said the impulsive and irrational resort to violence in resolving differences has now resulted in the irreversible, unjustified loss of life and arrest both of which are going to affect livelihoods of the deceased and suspect’s families.
“The propensity for gratuitous violence as a way of settling differences often results in tragic unintended consequences,” he said.
