Ivory Park police Warrant Officer Neldah Sekgobela said, “The 35-year-old woman and the deceased had an argument, fought and the woman grabbed a knife from the kitchen and allegedly stabbed the deceased in the middle of his body.”
The 40-year-old man passed away at the scene. The suspect was arrested after police received a call from community members. The suspect was detained in the Ivory Park Police Station cells, while the deceased was taken to a Germiston mortuary. She will soon appear in Tembisa Magistrates’ Court on a murder charge.
