On 11 September 2017, a 23 year old male suspect will appear in the Atamelang Magistrates’ Court facing a charge of murder.

Allegedly, the trio had a private conversation and suddenly the suspect took out a knife and stabbed the victim in the neck. The suspect then fled the scene.

The victim was taken to the local Health Center where he was immediately transferred to Mahikeng Provincial Hospital where he died later.

The suspect has been on the run since the day of the incident until he handed himself over to the police. Investigation into the matter continues.
