Knife-wielding man takes selfies after brutal murder

The Randfontein Herald can confirm a disturbing incident where a man was brutally stabbed numerous times by another man in front of onlookers on the premises suspected of being Sibanye-Stillwater.

The spokesperson for Sibanye-Stillwater, James Wellstead, however, confirmed that as reported to them, the incident took place in an informal trading area and not on the premises of Sibanye-Stillwater. He added that they are still investigating.

In the video footage which was sent to the Herald, the perpetrator can be seen lifting his arm and stabbing his victim. Subsequent horror images were then shared allegedly by the person on his social media status.

In the video and images, the knife-wielding man is then seen posing with the body from all angles and even takes a selfie or two. It appears that the deceased had multiple lacerations to the neck and a deep laceration to his stomach. A small knife can also be seen resting on the man’s gutted stomach. According to unconfirmed reports, the man also ate some of his victim’s intestines.

Wellstead further claimed that the deceased was indeed an employee and that the perpetrator was a former employee but was dismissed for unknown reasons. Wellstead added that the deceased and the perpetrator were involved in past hostile disputes.

“The deceased met the perpetrator in an informal trading area and thereafter the perpetrator killed the deceased,” Wellstead stated.

The Herald has since reached out to the West Rand Police’s Captain Solomon Sibiya for comment who said that he will follow up on queries from the Herald.
