A business robbery at a Vrygrond winkel ended in the death of a 31-year-old Somali male, who was stabbed multiple times by two skelms.
Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi, said Muizenberg police attended the scene in Vrygrond Avenue at 3.45pm on Monday and found the body of the man, known to residents as Sulaiman.
“Upon arrival at the crime scene in Vrygrond Avenue, they found the body of a 31-year-old man who sustained stab wounds to his body.
“The victim was declared deceased on the scene by the medical personnel.
“According to reports, two unknown suspects entered the premises and stabbed the victim, after which they fled the scene in an undisclosed direction with an undisclosed amount of cash taken from the crime scene and are yet to be arrested,” said Swartbooi.
When the Daily Voice visited the shop, three male employees were inside behind a locked gate.
They refused to speak about the incident.
A shocked 34-year-old male resident said: “We were standing across the road when we saw the two guys walk into the shop and then we saw them run out again with bags.
“After they ran away, we heard somebody shouting and then we saw Sulaiman lying on the ground.
“People tried to help him but he was already dying because it looked like the guys stabbed him in the neck and there was a lot of blood on the floor.
“There are a klomp shops around here so there are always a lot of people but the guys were playing soccer on the field that time, so the skelms knew it was going to be quiet.”
