Noah Nobin died in the hospital five days later, and his alleged assailant, also 19, handed himself to the police. Provincial police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda confirmed the incident.

“Police in Isipingo have opened a murder case for investigation after five suspects on Lotus Road allegedly stabbed a 19-year-old man. He sustained multiple stab wounds and was taken to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. The motive of the attack is still unknown,” said Netshiunda.

In 2022, a then-16-year-old Nobin featured in the SUN after a group of boys assaulted him. That bullying incident left him with a swollen and bruised face.

His funeral was held in Isipingo on July 23, and he was later cremated at Clare Estate Crematorium.
