Police spokesperson, Brigadier Jay Naicker said: "After a domestic dispute the suspect produced a knife and stabbed the victim on the neck. She was transported to hospital where she was confirmed as dead on arrival," he said.
Naicker says the suspect, who fled the scene, was later nabbed at his hideout.
"The knife used in the commission of crime was seized by the police," he said.
Naicker says the suspect is due to appear in the Pinetown Magistrates’ Court this week.
The KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Khombinkosi Jula said: “It is so heart-breaking to learn that while we are observing the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence, there are people who continue to terrorise and kill our women."
"I am glad that the suspect is behind the bars and we hope he will receive a befitting sentence once successful convicted in court,” he said.
