A man was stabbed to death at the entrance of Pick n Pay shopping centre at Hendrik Potgieter Road in Little Falls on the evening of 21 February at around 6pm.
The victim was allegedly stabbed by three unknown men during an alleged scuffle between friends and work colleagues.
Two of the three suspects were later arrested at around 8.40 pm when a security guard from BCI Security Company noticed suspicious men running through the bushes.
