One female warder was stabbed to death and another wounded after they were held hostage for nearly three hours by an inmate on Friday afternoon.
Police said the prisoner was busy with cleaning duties when he forced the women into an office and locked himself inside with them at around 3.30pm on Friday. "After realising what was happening, the authorities at the centre mobilised the response teams, including SAPS hostage negotiators, who started negotiating the release of the officials for almost three hours, after which the prisoner surrendered," police said.
"When the response teams comprising of correctional service officials and Tactical Response Team members entered the office they discovered the body of a 35-year-old warder full of blood due to stab wounds sustained while held hostage."
