A woman who was seven months pregnant died after being stabbed by her boyfriend during an argument outside her mother’s home in the Northwest.

The 34-year-old was arrested after Saturday’s incident and is due to appear in Schweizer-Reneke magistrates court soon.

“The suspect who is from Taung was visiting the victim at extension 8, Ipelegeng Location. It is alleged that the suspect and his seven-month-pregnant girlfriend had an argument. The suspect allegedly accused the girlfriend of cheating when he was away, ”said police spokeswoman Lt. Col. Amanda Funani.

During the fight, the 27-year-old victim was stabbed in the chest in front of her mother’s home. Then the boyfriend took her to a local clinic where she died.

“The suspect was arrested at the victim’s home the same day and charged with murder,” Funani said.

Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Seal Kwena condemned the incident, which took place shortly after the 16-day national campaign of activism for non-violence against women and children.
