The man in his 60s stabbed and killed the woman in her 40s at this location before fleeing.
The suspect, a man in his 60s identified as A, was apprehended about three and a half hours later roughly 7 kilometers away from the crime scene.
According to police investigations, suspect A was found to have been in a past romantic relationship with the victim.
The victim had reportedly filed multiple reports against suspect A for stalking and dating violence in the past, and the police had reportedly provided her with a smart watch.
The police had managed the victim as a subject for safety measures under the 112 emergency reporting system, but it was understood that measures such as a restraining order were not in place.
Police are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the incident involving suspect A and plan to apply for an arrest warrant for him.
