A man (39) was arrested this morning, January 29, after he allegedly murdered his girlfriend yesterday evening.
According to police spokesperson, Capt. Gerda Swart, the suspect allegedly chased his girlfriend (31) with a knife.
The victim ran into a house in Corkwood Street, Tamboville, where she was repeatedly stabbed. A community member who attempted to intervene, was also stabbed in the right arm.
"As the woman collapsed outside of the house, the suspect continued to stab her. She succumbed to her injuries and died on the scene. Early this morning, the suspect was apprehended by SAPS Kamesh detectives," Swart said.
He is due to appear in the Kariega Magistrate's Court soon on charges of murder and assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The motive for the murder is yet to be established.
