BOIPATONG. - A suspect is on the run after allegedly stabbing a woman twelve times in Boipatong recently.

It is alleged that the two were at a tavern when they quarrelled about something and that when the victim went out to go to the toilet, the suspect followed her and allegedly stabbed her twelve times before he was seen by a tavern worker.

According to witnesses, the tavern owner then took the woman to hospital where she then died.
