Satish Zaavle and his associate Swapnil Pawar were held on Sunday night for the killing that took place in Chembur's MG Road area, the Tilaknagar police station official said.
"Zaavle and Pawar were allegedly involved in the murder of Deepali, a beautician by profession. She was stabbed multiple times on Sunday evening and was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was declared dead before admission, the police said
After stabbing Deepali, Zaavle tried to flee from the spot but was chased by onlookers, and to escape their fury came and sat inside a police patrol van and confessed to what he had done," an official told the PTI.
The woman had been staying with her mother in Chembur due to domestic strife, investigating officer Sandeep Pawar said.
Zaavle and his associate have been arrested and charged with murder and other offences, the official said.
