Johannesburg - A woman was arrested in Soweto for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend to death, Gauteng police said on Monday.
Inspector Kay Makhubela said the man and woman, both aged 29, were fighting at their rented room in Zola when the woman stabbed the man in the chest late on Sunday.
"The owner of the house grabbed the man when he attempted to hit the woman, but while the owner was holding the man the woman stabbed the man and the owner with a kitchen knife," said Makhubela.
The man died on the scene and the owner was taken to a nearby hospital for a minor injury.
The woman is expected to appear before the Protea Magistrate's Court on Tuesday on charges of murder and assault.
