PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - Police arrested a 29-year-old man after he allegedly stabbed and killed a friend during a scuffle in the Crags, on the outskirts of Plettenberg Bay, on Saturday 13 March.

Southern Cape police spokesperson Captain Malcolm Pojie said the suspect allegedly confronted and attacked a group of men in Bloekom Street in the Crags at about 22:45.

"It is further alleged that he pulled a knife and stabbed wildly towards the group of men in an attempt to flee from them and in the process stabbed his friend in the chest," Pojie said.
