A 28-year-old woman from Para Hills West was found with a stab wound in the chest and was taken to hospital in a critical condition where she later died.

Police arrested a 25-year-old woman from Davoren Park at the scene.

She has been charged with murder and has been refused police bail and will appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Friday.

Police say the incident was not random and the two women where known to each other but ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

It was the second stabbing in Adelaide’s northern suburbs on the same day, after a 17-year-old boy allegedly stabbed an elderly man in an unrelated incident at nearby Surrey Downs, about 9.45am.

Police have urged anyone who may have witnessed either incident to call Crime Stoppers.
