A man (28) apparently stabbed his wife (34) to death in front of her three-year old child from a previous relationship.
Lt. gen. Sello Kwena, provincial commissioner of the North West, says it is alleged that the victim and the suspect had an argument around 02:00 on Thursday. The neighbours, who heard the victim screaming, called the local police who rushed to the scene, where they could gain access to the house.

The victim was found lying in a pool of blood with numerous stab wounds to her chest and severe head injuries. Her three-year old son was rescued unharmed from the house.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency and medical rescue services (EMRS). The police consequently arrested the suspect.
He will appear in the Potchefstroom Magistrate’s Court today on a charge of murder.
