Blue Security armed response officers arrested an alleged murder suspect in the CBD at around midnight on Saturday.
Blue Security community and media liaison officer Andreas Mathios said the officers had responded to a block of flats in Diakonia Avenue in Albert Park where the suspect had fled from the scene of the crime to hide.
“The murder victim was a local man who was busy having a drink and chatting to friends at a local tavern when the suspect approached him. An altercation broke out and the suspect produced a knife and stabbed the victim several times. The victim was declared dead at the scene,” Mathios said.
“The suspect fled the scene and ran into a building to hide. Our officers responded swiftly to the scene and arrested him. He was handed over to SAPS officers who took control of the scene and took the suspect into custody,” Mathios said.
