Man robbed, killed after prostitute visit
A man from Midrand was killed by four robbers after visiting a prostitute in Boksburg, on Gauteng’s East Rand.
According to Boksburg police spokesperson Kwendzakwakhe Ngobese, Edwin Tshuma, who originally hails from Zimbabwe, parked his vehicle at the shopping centre along Rondebult Road before he went to the nearby bushes with the prostitute on Friday, Boksburg Advertiser reported. He allegedly paid the prostitute R10.
“After a steamy romp, four men confronted Tshuma in the bushes before stabbing him multiple times and stealing his valuable belongings,” said Ngobese.
Ngobese said police received a call from a member of the public saying a man had been stabbed.
“The victim suffered several wounds and was certified dead on the scene,” Ngobese said.
Three of the suspected killers, aged 20, 28 and 29, were arrested over the weekend. They have been charged with murder and are likely to face additional charges, including robbery.
According to Ngobese, police have in the past arrested scores of women for prostitution, many of them using the bushes along Rondebult Road.
In another incident, a man was stabbed to death and robbed of his possessions in Amanzimtoti, KwaZulu-Natal in September last year.
