At Midnight Netcare 911 paramedics responded to a stabbing incident in Ridge Road Margate. Reports from the scene indicate that an eighteen-year-old-man had sustained a stab wound to the chest. Exact detail as to the cause of the stabbing is still speculative and will form part of the South African Police investigation.

Paramedics arrived at the scene and found the teenager lying on the ground. Tragically, he had died before our arrival due to the extensive injury that he sustained.
