Durban - The body of a security guard with multiple stab wounds was discovered on Sunday morning at a school in Phoenix.
Police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele said Phoenix SAPS were investigating charges of murder and burglary.
“It is alleged that on March 20, 2022, at 6am, a body of a 55-year-old security guard was found at a school on Palmview Drive with injuries on the head and chest and also tied up with a belt,” Mbele said.
“Upon further investigation, it was discovered that a sound system, speakers, guitar and other belongings were stolen in one of the classrooms. The circumstances surrounding the incident are being investigated.”
KZN VIP Protection Services said their VIP response teams were dispatched to Palmview following reports of a break-in at a local school.
“Upon arrival, KZN VIP officers interviewed the complainant who said when he arrived to open up for church this morning he noticed the front door was forced open and all the musical instruments were missing from the premises,” the security said.
The KZN VIP then tried to locate the school’s male security officer and found him “stabbed multiple times and left dead in a pool of blood.”
