A 22-year-old man has been stabbed to death at his home in Meloding, Free State police said on Wednesday.

A group of people killed Tshidiso Klaas in Stilte Park on Tuesday evening, Warrant Officer Malebo Khosana said.

The group stoned and stabbed him after they came looking for him at his home.

"He was stabbed multiple times all over the body with sharp objects."

He died on the scene. A murder case was opened and no one had been arrested.

"The community members who were on the scene in numbers could not help the police with information needed to solve this case."

No officer, we didn't see nothing... wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

And they didn't even accuse him of being a criminal.

And they didn't even accuse him of being a criminal.

I think it is fair to say he did something to upset them....

Mob justice is effective.

Would be nice to know. At this point he could have gone out wearing a DA shirt before sunset or something.

POLICE MEC CONDEMNS FSTATE KILLING

The killing of a man in Stilte Park, Meloding, in Virginia, was a barbaric act, Free State police MEC Butana Komphela's office said on Thursday.

Such "inhuman acts" undermined democracy, his spokesman Saki Mohono quoted him as saying.

On Tuesday evening, Tshidiso Klaas was stoned and stabbed to death when a crowd attacked him at his home.

Warrant Officer Malebo Khosana said on Thursday nine people had been arrested for various offences relating to the incident, but no one was yet charged with Klaas's murder.

Two were taken into custody on Tuesday for public violence, another was subsequently caught with a dangerous weapon in his possession and six others were arrested on Wednesday for public violence.

Two others facing public violence charges were due to appear in court on Thursday.

Khosana distanced himself from the claim that the crime was a vigilante killing, but said investigations were continuing.

Komphela called for strong action to be taken against those involved in Klaas's murder.
