Tshwane police have arrested a suspect accused of murdering a 23-year-old woman in Temba.
It was reported that the man allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend brutally with a knife in a jealous rage earlier this week.
The 30-year-old fled from the scene and went into hiding.
Following an investigation, he was caught and arrested on Friday in Leboneng.
