This after one police member was injured from a stone thrown by students who wanted to kill the suspect, according to Empangeni Station Commander, Brigadier Jeros Thango.

The argument is said to have arisen over cold water taken without permission from their fridge, with the alleged perpetrator stabbing the victim with a kitchen knife.

Members of the university’s Protection Services Department saved the stabber from students seeking revenge and locked him in an office until police arrived.

An emotional video circulated by a student expressed the shock, horror and pain of those who witnessed the proceedings.

Unizulu spokesperson Gcina Nhleko confirmed the incident, saying two students were involved in a stabbing incident in which one died and the other was injured, and that the university is investigating the matter.
