RIP, prof. Larkin :-(
Nov. 17th, 2007 02:07 pmProfessor Mike Larkin from the university of Cape Town is dead. He was stabbed by two robberers :-(((
I didn't know him well, but this is appalling. The whole university community is in shock.
Violent crime is getting out of control. I hardly know anyone in this country whose friends, relatives, or himself haven't been affected. This is worse than the AIDS epidemy. And the government is only pretending that they are doing something :-(

A University of Cape Town commercial law professor was stabbed to death during a robbery in Rondebosch on Friday, Western Cape police said.
Police spokesperson Captain Elliot Sinyangana said the professor was walking down Roslyn Road between 6pm and 6.30pm on Friday evening. He was then approached by two men who tried to grab his bag.
"They threatened him with knives and demanded his bag. When he resisted the men stabbed him a number of times in the chest and fled with the bag," Sinyangana said.
Sinyangana said a murder docket had been opened.
