A 24-year-old man from Letlhakane is fighting for his life after he was brutally attacked and stabbed multiple times near an entertainment spot in Letlhakane on Friday night.

New Letlhakane Police Station commander, Superintendent Unoziba Rari, said they received a report of the unlawful wounding incident at around 11 pm after the victim was found lying by the roadside, bleeding profusely.

According to Rari, the victim sustained seven stab wounds inflicted with a sharp object, and police have since launched investigations to establish the motive behind the attack. “We do not know if he knows the people who injured him or not. We have since arrested three men aged 20, 23, and an 18-year-old boy in connection with the offence. They were arrested on Saturday and are currently in police custody for investigations,” Rari said.
