Security guard allegedly accused of murder appears in court
POTCHEFSTROOM- A security guard allegedly accused of murder made their first court appearance at the Schweizer Reneke Magistrates' Court on Friday, 2 May 2025.
The 36-year-old security guard, Kilile Dail, made his court appearance after allegedly stabbing 42-year-old Kuni Daniel Setsetse.
According to police, Dail was on duty as a security guard at a local petrol station when he got into an altercation with the victim and his friends who had challenges with withdrawing money from an ATM.
'It was during the argument that Dail allegedly stabbed Setsetse on the upper body with a knife. Setsetse was rushed to a local hospital, where he was declared dead,' said the police.
Acting Provincial Police Commissioner of North West, Major General Patrick Asaneng, described the murder as a senseless and avoidable.
'This is yet another senseless murder which could and should not have happened, taking into consideration the circumstances under which it happened.'
'The impulsive and irrational resort to violence in resolving differences has now resulted in the irreversible, unjustified loss of life and arrest, both of which are going to affect the livelihoods of both the deceased and the suspect's families,' said Asaneng.
Western Cape SAPS are still in disbelief after a shooting incident in Athlone Mosque claimed the life of a 35-year-old female administrative clerk from Kraaifontein SAPS.
According to police, the incident occurred around 13:45 on Saturday, 03 May 2025.
A 56-year-old woman sustained injuries and was taken to a medical facility for treatment.
Initial reports suggest that two men approached the women while they were in a vehicle that they were travelling in.
Athlone SAPS have opened a murder and attempted murder case that will be led by detectives from the Anti-Gang Unit.
The police are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stop at 08600 10111 or on the MySAPS mobile application anonymously.
