The 43-year-old man was arrested in Inanda at the weekend for allegedly killing a car guard two years ago. 


Bongani Nxumalo, 30, was stabbed along Durban's Samora Machel Street - after an argument, he allegedly had with the suspect.

KZN police spokesperson, Thembeka Mbele says: "The argument reached a boiling point until the suspect fought and were separated by another car guard. They both continued with their daily work as if nothing had happened and were later seen leaving the bus terminals."


A "few minutes later, the deceased was seen bleeding on his chest and screaming for help. He collapsed, died at the scene, and the suspect was seen fleeing the scene on foot."


The suspect will appear in the Durban Magistrate's Court today.
