Durban - A 29-year-old Pietermaritzburg man was arrested on Friday for stabbing a woman to death earlier this week, police said.
Superintendent Henry Budhram said the body of 30-year-old Michelle Murisson was found on Wednesday.
She had been stabbed to death in her home in Wembley, Pietermaritzburg.
Police earlier said that Murisson had been at home with her 14-month-old baby girl at the time.
The baby was unharmed.
Police could not detect any forced entry into the premises but Murisson's car, a silver grey BMW, was missing.
Budhram said the car was found abandoned about four kilometres away.
"The arrested man is an employee of the family," said Budhram.
He is expected to appear in the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate's court on Monday.
