A 25 –year-old woman is accused of stabbing her husband to death in Karringmelkfontien near Albertinia on the Southern Cape.

It is alleged that Jacobus Scholtz, 26, was stabbed after the couple had an argument at their home on Sunday. The police say Scholtz had assaulted his wife several times.

Police spokesperson, Captain Malcolm Pojie, says the woman got a hold of her husband’s pocket knife and allegedly stabbed him in his stomach.

The woman went to a neighbouring farm to ask for help. Upon her return home, she found that Scholtz had died.

She will appear at the Albertinia Magistrate's Court tomorrow.
