Police spokesperson, Wendy Nkabi, told OFM News that the body did not have any visible injuries and that an investigation will be taking place.

Nkabi further said that the post-mortem will determine the cause of death.

This comes just months after OFM News reported that a 20-year-old law student from the University of the Free State (UFS) was fatally stabbed on his way from a Tavern in Ella Street, which is also in the Willows area.

According to the police spokesperson, Thabo Covane, the victim and his friends were walking home from a tavern when they were confronted by a group of males who demanded their cell phones and money.

Covane told OFM News that the victim then handed his possessions to the robbers and a tussle between the victim and suspects ensued shortly thereafter. The suspects stabbed the victim twice in his chest with a knife and he fell down. No arrests have yet been made. Willows is considered a high crime area in Bloemfontein.

The spokesperson of the University of the Free State, Lacea Loader, says they are aware of the incident and will release a statement later today.
