We know South Africa is a violent country. Despite its natural beauty and wonderful people, our high crime rates remain a blight on the nation. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, we get this. A man in Joburg was caught STABBING his victim to death, while he was holding on to a child.
The sheer lunacy of this footage almost defies description. How someone could act with such impunity in front of a young child is beggars belief. In broad daylight, this father simply withdraws a knife, drives it through his target, and runs away.
Police are now investigating the matter. We understand an arrest has been made, and the perpetrator was apprehend by law enforcement officials earlier on Wednesday. The brazen nature of this crime has raised a number of questions…
The clip has gone viral on social media, with many viewers struggling to process what they had witnessed. We’re now awaiting further details from SAPS in Joburg, and the man they currently have in custody will soon be processed by the courts
Anti-crime advocate Yusuf Abramjee confirmed on Wednesday that the victim had indeed passed away. Both men involved in the skirmish are believed to be foreign nationals. The CCTV footage from the store shows how a life was taken within the blink of an eye.
