Reports suggest that the man was found hanging on a tree, not far from the scene where he stabbed the woman to death.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda, speaking to eNCA said, "It is true and disheartening that he took his own life. We would liked to have arrested him and bring him to justice and let him explain his version of events and maybe give closure and justice to the family of the victim."
