Four suspects aged between 22 and 38 will appear in the Bellville Magistrate’s Court on Monday on charges of robbery and murder.

This follows after a 20 year old Somalian national was stabbed with a sharp object in a business robbery at Kunene Street, Leiden in Delft.

When the unsuspected shopkeeper opened the door the suspect attacked him by stabbing him in the left side of his chest.

Police spokesperson Captain Joe Wilson says the suspect then insisted that the shopkeeper open the door and assists him.

“When the unsuspected shopkeeper opened the door the suspect attacked him by stabbing him with a sharp object in the left side of his chest,” Wilson said.

Wilson says suddenly, six other suspects joined him in ransacking the shop.

The shopkeeper sustained a wound to the chest and subsequently died on the scene.

Anyone with more information regarding this incident is requested to contact Captain Johhny Wiid at Delft Saps on 021 954 9000.
