Durban Man Wanted for Alleged Stabbings and Assaults on Family Members

The northern eThekwini community has been shaken by a heinous incident on Mgabadeli Road, Phase 6, Waterloo, where a suspect in his twenties is accused of stabbing his mother and girlfriend and assaulting his grandmother and uncle during a familial conflict. Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA), a private security firm, swiftly acted upon receiving reports of a violent altercation over the weekend.

RUSA was inundated with emergency calls that led them to the gruesome scene, where community members relayed that the suspect had been embroiled in an infidelity dispute with his girlfriend. The quarrel escalated dramatically, resulting in the suspect, in a fit of rage, seizing a kitchen knife and repeatedly stabbing his girlfriend at her home. The altercation took a more alarming turn when the suspect purportedly took the injured girlfriend to his mother's residence.

It was here, according to Rusa reports, that the situation grew even more violent. "The suspect continued stabbing the female when his mother interjected," Rusa stated, summarizing witness accounts. The violence further spiraled out of control, reaching a chilling climax when the knife broke amidst the stabbings, prompting the man to use a broken glass bottle as a weapon against his own mother, wounding her in the arm.

Tragically, the suspect's aggression did not end with the two women; he reportedly turned his assault onto his 76-year-old grandmother and his wheelchair-bound uncle, both of whom had futilely attempted to de-escalate the situation. In a frenzy, the suspect damaged all the windows in the home before fleeing the scene on foot.

Understandably, the incident has sparked considerable alarm and a high-priority manhunt. Rusa's Prem Balram shared an update on Monday that despite ongoing efforts, the suspect has yet to be apprehended. The South African Police Service (SAPS) in KwaZulu-Natal has been contacted for further commentary on this disturbing case. The public has been urged to maintain vigilance and to report any information that may lead to the suspect's capture.

This brutal family dispute underscores broader concerns about domestic violence and the importance of swift intervention and support measures. The case is continuing to unfold, and Satori News Agency is committed to providing updates as new information becomes available. Our thoughts are with the victims, their family, and the community during this trying time.
