KwaZulu-Natal police on Wednesday launched a manhunt after a Durban businessman was found murdered.
This is the third attack on businessmen in two weeks.
The 38-year-old was found in a pool of blood outside his business premises on South Coast Road in Clairwood at around 10pm on Tuesday night.
It is alleged the victim had sustained a single stab wound to the neck.
Provincial police spokesperson, Constable Thenjiswa Ngcobo said Montclair police were investigating a case of murder after a man was found dead at his business premises.
“The motive for the killing is unknown at this stage,” Ngcobo said.
Last week, a businessman was shot and killed outside his business on Inanda Road, Parlock, at around 9am.
At the time, provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Robert Netshiunda said that the 49-year-old man was outside his business premises when he was approached by two armed suspects who shot him, before they fled in a getaway vehicle.
Netshiunda said the motive for the killing is unknown, and a case of murder is being investigated by Newlands East SA Police Service (SAPS).
In the other incident, Phoenix businessman Julian Munsamy, 38, was killed in a drive-by shooting in uMhlanga Rocks.
The businessman came under a hail of bullets while parked at a traffic light near Oceans Mall.
