“The victim had a stab wound to the chest and his stomach ripped open. He was declared dead by EMS personnel on the scene. The suspect is unknown at the moment,” Xaba said.
The victim’s brother, Craig Barnard, said he was devastated by the news.
“He was the most generous person I knew. The last time I saw and spoke to him [a day before the murder] we had a good heart-to-heart discussion as brothers would,” Barnard said.
