Bloemendal man fatally stabbed, suspect arrested

Members of SAPS Bethelsdorp arrested a 35 year old man this morning, 17 December 2018, for the alleged murder of Elrico Titis (44) from Bloemendal.

It is alleged that on 16 December 2018, at about 18:30, Mr Titus of Lodewyk Street Bloemendal was involved in an argument with the suspect. The argument turned physical and Titus’s brother then took him home. Titus later went down the street again and approached the suspect. Titus was stabbed in the back and was taken home.

He died in his yard at home. The suspect ran away. The reason for the argument is yet to be established.

At about 07:00 this morning, Bethelsdorp members received information that the suspect was at his Lodewyk Street home. He was arrested and detained. He is expected to appear in court soon on a charge of murder.
