MPHEGO — The identity of a man who was allegedly stabbed to death during a reported one-night stand with a s*x worker at Mphego outside Thohoyandou has been released.
The deceased has been identified as Fhulufhelo Gingi, who was allegedly stabbed during the early hours of Thursday following an altercation with a woman who has confessed to being a s*x worker.
