A man has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing a real estate agent to death in a ‘random’ attack.
The 30-year-old man has been charged with one count of murder and another of attempted murder following the death of Julie Seed, 38, on Wednesday.
Ms Seed, who is a property manager, and a 50-year-old woman were allegedly stabbed at Real Estate Agents Group office on Lydia Street in Plympton, Adelaide.
Ms Seed died at the scene while the second woman was rushed to Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) with serious injuries.
The 30-year-old man, who was not known to either of the women, was arrested by police at the scene and was charged with the two offences on Thursday.

South Australian Health confirmed the arrested man had been released from an inpatient treatment order at the RAH just two days before the alleged attack.
The decision to release him is set to be reviewed by the chief psychiatrist.
Detective Chief Inspector Kieran Baggoley said the man was known to police but was not on bail at the time of the alleged offence.
‘We are working through at the moment his history and understanding his antecedence,’ he told reporters on Wednesday night.
‘It is very early in the investigation.’
Emergency services reportedly found the man ‘calmly’ waiting outside while the injured women were indoors.
Police recovered a knife and small hammer from the scene.
