Johannesburg - The Limpopo acting Provincial Commissioner of Police, Major General Jan Scheepers, has strongly condemned an incident in which a woman, 30, allegedly stabbed and killed her partner, aged 29, on Saturday.
The Limpopo police said the incident took place at Morarela village in the Elandskraal policing precinct outside Marble Hall at about 10.45pm.
"According to the information receive, at the time of the incident, the victim had visited his partner at her home when the two became engaged in a heated argument. The suspect apparently went outside to cool down, but the victim followed her while holding a sharp object.
