A 34-year-old woman from Limpopo, South Africa has been arrested for murder after she allegedly stabbed and killed a man believed to be her boyfriend.

It’s understood the suspect used a blunt object to kill the man on Saturday after the pair had an altercation the night before.

The 45-year-old man was found unconscious by neighbours in the early hours of Sunday morning inside the house where he was staying in Phalaborwa.

He was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

The police’s Moatshe Ngoepe said: “The source and motive behind this incident is not clear at this stage but domestic violence may not be ruled out. The suspect will appear in court facing a charge of murder.”
