A 21-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly stabbed his friend to death during a fight over alcohol at the weekend, KwaZulu-Natal police said.
Police spokesperson Col Thembeka Mbele said the men were drinking at a home in the Doboti area on Saturday evening when one of them wanted to leave with the alcohol.
A fight broke out between the suspect and 27-year-old Lindokuhle Mkhize.
“The perpetrator took out a knife and stabbed the victim [Mkhize] once on the left side of the chest. Mkhize succumbed to his injury at the scene.”
The suspect was arrested at a hideout in Greenwood Park in Durban on Sunday.
He is expected to appear in the Maphumulo magistrate’s court on Wednesday on a murder charge.
