In the video footage circulating online, the perpetrator can be seen knifing his victim, and he subsequent sent the disturbing images on social media.
In the video and images, the knife-wielding man is then seen posing with the body from all angles and even takes a selfie or two. It appears that the deceased had multiple lacerations to the neck and a deep laceration to his stomach. A small knife can also be seen resting on the man’s gutted stomach. According to unconfirmed reports, the man also ate some of his victim’s intestines.
Wellstead further claimed that the deceased was indeed an employee and that the perpetrator was a former employee but was dismissed for unknown reasons. Wellstead added that the deceased and the perpetrator were involved in past hostile disputes.
“The deceased met the perpetrator in an informal trading area and thereafter the perpetrator killed the deceased,” Wellstead stated.
