The woman allegedly murdered by a man in a random attack has been identified as 38-year-old property manager and mother-of-two Julie Seed.

A 30-year-old man was arrested at the scene and has been charged with one count of murder and one count of attempt murder.

Police on Wednesday night confirmed Ms Seed, of Morphett Vale, had been allegedly murdered inside her Plympton workplace, Real Estate Agents Group.

At 3.45pm on Wednesday, emergency services were called to Lydia St, in Plympton, after reports two people had been stabbed inside a real estate business.

Ms Seed died at the scene, while another woman, a 50-year-old from Henley Beach, was rushed to the RAH with serious injuries. She is now in a critical but stable condition.

A knife and a small hammer were seized from the scene, police say.

A friend of slain property manager says the young mum of two daughters was a “beautiful soul” who had just landed her dream job.

In laying a tribute of flowers at the scene, Ms Black recalled Ms Seed as a beautiful mother who had “just found everything that she always wanted”.

“She was a beautiful, beautiful soul,” Ms Black said.

“Beautiful mum to beautiful girls.

“She’s got a beautiful family, fiance, beautiful home - just got her dream job, then this happens.”

According to a social media post, Ms Seed had worked as a cleaner for 10 years before becoming a property manager.

She had posted cleaning tips on the REAL Estate Agents Group Facebook account.

It is believed the suspect went to the premises on foot and may have been walking along Anzac Highway and surrounding areas before the incident.

SA Health released the man two days ago from the RAH.

The health department confirmed on Wednesday the man, who had been on an inpatient treatment order, had been released from their care on December 18.

A treatment order authorises the provision of compulsory mental health treatment.

Major Crime detectives are assisting Southern District officers with the investigation.

The arrested man will appear before the Adelaide Magistrates Court later on Thursday.
