A 17-year-old teenager, Sicelo Moyo of Mbembeswana died on the spot after she was stabbed for turning down a love proposal.
That was on Christmas Day.
Her alleged killer, Siphila Khumalo aged 22 also injured three more people.
Khumalo has since been arrested.
Reports indicate that Khumalo was also armed with an axe when he approached Moyo.
She was with her cousin at the business centre.
Khumalo, according to a neighborhood watch committee member, Miriam Muhodi, demanded that one of the girls should become his lover.
"They jokingly told him they were afraid of a person who moved around armed.
"When they insisted that none of them could fall in love with him, Khumalo became violent and shredded an umbrella they were carrying with his knife. On seeing this, the three girls took to their heels and Khumalo gave chase" she is quoted saying.
Khumalo caught up with Moyo and stabbed her once under her left breast.
