Johannesburg - A man has been arrested in Diepkloof in connection with the murder of his 23-year-old girlfriend, Gauteng police said on Sunday.

“It is alleged that the suspect and the victim were drinking in the tavern when the suspect took out a knife and stabbed her multiple times on the upper body,” Constable Sibusiso Chauke said.

The man fled the scene and the woman was rushed to hospital where she died on arrival.

The man was found in Diepkloof Zone Two in the early hours of Saturday morning and arrested, said Chauke.

He is expected to appear in the Protea Magistrate's Court soon.
