Police are investigating the murder of an 89-year-old man whose body was found inside his Storms River home.

And, according to police spokesperson, Sergeant Majola Nkohli, the body of another man was found with stab wounds in a street in Addo, also on Sunday morning.

He said in the one matter, Storms River police were investigating the murder of 89-year-old Thomas Love, who was found in his home with stab wounds to the upper body.

Nkohli said a tenant living in an outside flat became concerned and contacted the police after he was last seen on Tuesday.

He said the deceased’s wallet, his laptop, and a television set were missing from the house. 

“One of the room’s windows was broken, and a kitchen door was not locked and its key was hanging from the inside.  A case of murder was opened with an additional charge of house robbery,” he said.

Meanwhile, in the second incident, Nkohli said Addo police are investigating the murder of 25-year-old Asekho Stilito from Mqanduli.

“At this stage, a motive for the attack is unknown. Police are urging anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect (s) to contact the Addo detective standby number 082 441 7906,” he added.
