A security officer was stabbed to death in a Uitenhage store following an altercation with an unknown man on Friday.
Police spokesperson, Captain Gerda Swart, said 25-year-old Jason Fisher died from a wound to the neck.
She said the incident happened when a manager “noticed two suspicious females in the store” and as he was approaching them the man stepped in front and obstructed him.
Swart said the manager then called the security officer and an argument ensued.
She said the manager followed the two women out of the store as they got away and when he returned, he found the security officer involved in a scuffle with the suspect.
Swart said the security officer died on the scene while the alleged killer fled in an unknown vehicle.
