Johannesburg - The US embassy in South Africa on Monday
named a consulate worker who was stabbed to death in Johannesburg over the
weekend as an information management officer.
"The US embassy confirms the death of consulate general Johannesburg employee Christopher 'Norm' Bates," the mission said
in a statement.
Police said a 29-year-old South African woman has been
arrested for allegedly stabbing Bates to death in the early hours of Sunday.
A security guard at an upmarket housing complex allegedly
found her with a bloodied knife next to Bates, who had several wounds in the
upper body.
The 41-year-old American had worked as an information
management officer at the Johannesburg consulate from 2010.
He previously served in Senegal, Kenya and Lesotho during
his 11-year career with the US state department, the mission said.
