MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Jealousy may have been the reason for the death of a woman this past weekend.

Two women who visited a tavern with their boyfriends quarrelled, apparently about a man, right outside the tavern. 

In the altercation, the deceased apparently threw a bottle at the accused, after which she was stabbed in the chest with a knife.

The accused then went back into the tavern and confessed to her friends what she had done. 

The party went outside, where they found the woman with the stab wound. 

The tavern owner immediately took the wounded woman to a local hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival.

Several people witnessed the stabbing and the investigating officer, from the KwaNonqaba police, Sgt Kekaza (044 606 5600), asks that anyone with information contact him. 

All information will be dealt with in strict confidence.

The accused will appear in the local magistrate's court on Tuesday.
