The police in the Free State is urging the public to be on the lookout for a man who is believed to have handed a poisonous energy drink to a 66-year-old man at a filling station in Botshabelo, early Saturday morning.


After returning from the filling station, the man complained about stomach aches and vomited blood. He was admitted to the Botshabelo Hospital, where he was transferred to Pelonomi Hospital in Bloemfontein where he later died.

Police spokesperson, Thandi Mbambo, stated that a case of inquest has been opened by the police and they are currently awaiting the postmortem results. She also requested that people refrain from causing unnecessary panic until the investigations are concluded.
