The Primrose police were recently called to Bertha Gxowa Hospital, after a man who was brought to the hospital died.
“The man was allegedly brought to the hospital in a private vehicle after being stabbed with a sharp object in the Marathon informal settlement,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“He was declared dead on arrival.”

Officers launched an investigation into the death and arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with the murder, last Sunday.
He was taken to the Primrose Police Station where he was charged with murder.
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where his case was postponed for a bail application.
