THE GALESHEWE police are investigating a case of murder after a woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her neighbour following an arguement over the R350 Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.

Galeshewe police spokesperson Captain Bashoabile Kale said the incident occurred on Friday, at about 7.30pm, following an altercation between the 47-year-old woman and her 56-year-old neighbour.

“It is alleged that the suspect and the deceased had a quarrel about the grant. The suspect was under the impression that the deceased had received the grant after she had applied for it on his behalf. The suspect believed the deceased was using the money for her own benefit. An altercation broke out and the deceased was stabbed in the process,” said Kale.

“The suspect was arrested and charged with murder. He will appear in the Galeshewe Magistrate’s Court soon.”
