A 21-year-old man is expected to appear in the Oudtshoorn Magistrate Court today in connection with the death of his 19-year-old cousin. 

It is believed the victim was on his way home with his cousin when they started arguing in Riemvasmaak, Bongolethu. 

Captain Malcolm Pojie said it is alleged that the suspect and the victim were arguing about a music box while they were walking down a street.

Pojie added that the victim was stabbed in the neck and died on the scene and the autopsy will be conducted this week to determine the cause of death.
