Johannesburg - A lecturer at the University of Johannesburg has been stabbed to death in his home, Gauteng police said on Thursday.
A house helper discovered the body of Carl Mischke in his bedroom at around 10.50am on Monday, said Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini.
“It is suspected that a sharp object was used to stab him. He was found lying on his bed in a pool of blood. His head was covered with a pillow. No murder weapon was found at the scene,” said Dlamini.
Police believed his killers might have gained access to his house and then taken his vehicle and other valuable items.
“The motive for the killing is unknown at this stage… we are also appealing to anyone who might have information about the killing of Mischke to come forward,” said Dlamini. - Sapa
