Western Cape police are appealing for information following the murder of a 22-year-old Stellenbosch University student in Kayamandi Township early this morning.

Police spokesperson Billy Jones says three attackers approached the young man and his female friend while they were walking in the township.

A struggle followed and the student was stabbed in the neck. The suspects fled on foot.

The female friend was left unharmed.

Meanwhile, Cape Town police sergeant has been arrested in connection with the escape of nine murder and rape accused from the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court.

The 45-year-old sergeant is facing charges of corruption, defeating the ends of justice and aiding prisoners in their escape yesterday afternoon.

Search teams from various police units worked throughout the night to re-arrest the escapers, with no success at this stage.
