A man is in police custody after a fatal stabbing in a hair salon in the Perth suburb of Como.

Around 10 a.m. on Monday, 48-year-old James Payet entered the Plush hair salon. Among the staff and customers inside were an as yet unnamed 43-year-old woman and a pregnant 22-year-old, both reportedly known to Payet. Witnesses reported hearing shouting before Payet reportedly fatally stabbed the older woman several times and then turned on younger woman, severely injuring her.

At 4 p.m. he admitted himself to St John of God Hospital in Murdoch with self-inflicted wounds. He was later arrested without incident.

Police have not confirmed the deceased's relationship with Payet but local media reports say the two had been lovers.
