The partially clothed body of a man was found on the Arlington tip in Victoria Drive in Walmer on Tuesday night.

"The man was found lying on his back and had several stab wounds to the head, chest and face. Medical services arrived on the scene and declared the man dead on arrival," she said.
"It is suspected that he was killed on the tip. There are holes in the perimeter fence and it is suspected that is how access was gained.

He had also been stabbed multiple times.
Janse van Rensburg said there was no link between the attacks and that the motive was unclear.
