Eastern Cape police have opened a case of murder against a man who stabbed a home intruder to death in Bethelsdorp, near Port Elizabeth.

The man, 55, had been cooking with his wife at their Greenfields home on Friday evening, when they heard a loud pounding on the door, said Colonel Priscilla Naidu.

Two men demanded to enter and when this was denied, they broke his door and windows to get in.

A fight broke out between the homeowner and the men, who were armed with a knife and a panga.

This is just normal procedure. Chances are 99% he will not be prosecuted. If by chance they resort to prosecution, I highly doubt he will ever be convicted.

That being said, great work done by the home owner. A shame he could not have killed both criminals. At least, we the tax payers, will not be forced to look after this criminal.

The charge will most likely be dropped. It's standard procedure to open a murder case when someone is killed.
