The deceased was attached to 16 Squadron at the Bloemspruit Airforce Base.

Parkweg police say they responded to a complaint of an attack in the parking area of the establishment at around 3 am on Monday.

At the scene, they found the body of the victim with a stab wound to the back.

According to eyewitnesses, they'd been attacked by four knife-wielding men.
