Duo arrested for murder of Bloubergstrand car guard

A Cape Town couple will appear in the Cape Town Magistrates Court on Tuesday for the murder of a car guard in Bloubergstrand, which was caught on camera. 

The incident took place at Marine Circle on Sunday.

‘’Officers were busy with routine patrols in the vicinity, when they noticed a crowd gathering in Marine Circle.  An unknown male was found unresponsive, with a stab wound under his arm.  Paramedics declared the victim deceased at the scene.  On the same day SAPS Table View detectives went to a property near the crime scene, where video footage was obtained,’’ said Captain Adriana Chandler, Table View spokesperson.

A 30-year-old man and a 24-years-old woman are charged with murder.

In an unrelated incident, a burglar gained access to a property in San Martin Crescent, Blouberg, by forcing a window open.

Chandler says the homeowner woke up from a noise she heard in the house.

‘’The 87-year-old woman was accosted by the unknown male and she fought back and shouted for help, which attracted the attention of her neighbours.  The man then jumped out of a window and fell on his head.  He succumbed shortly afterwards from the injury he sustained during the fall.  The concerned neighbours rushed to the woman to ascertain if she was unharmed.’’
