SAPS Kabega Park detectives are looking for a 47-year-old suspect wanted for an attempted murder case which took place on 24 November 2019, in Kragga Kamma Road, Kragga Kamma.

It is alleged that on the mentioned date between 01:45 and 02:00, the complainant (65) and the suspect were driving in Kragga Kamma Road when the couple started to argue about a job that the suspect promised the complainant in Port Alfred.

The suspect then stopped the vehicle and started to assault the woman. She was forced onto the ground and repeatedly stabbed. The suspect drove the complainant’s car and took her to the hospital. When the nurse informed her that they are going to contact the police, the suspect grabbed her Nokia cellphone and ran out with her vehicle keys.

The suspect is still in possession of the complainant’s car, a silver metallic 2014 VW Polo with registration no HGV 432 EC.

A warrant of arrest is issued for Rhett Els. He does not have a fixed address and is known to be frequently in the Korsten area.
