Durban man arrested for allegedly pouring boiling water on girlfriend

Police spokesperson Col Thembeka Mbele said a team was conducting a crime prevention operation in KwaMashu, north of Durban, on Thursday when they were alerted “about a woman who had been severely assaulted and held against her will at a house at B Section”.

“They proceeded to the scene and found the victim, 34, locked inside the house. She had numerous injuries. “The victim was taken to hospital and the suspect was arrested. He is expected to appear in the Ntuzuma magistrate’s court on Friday for attempted murder.” Mbele said, “Fighting women abuse is one of our priorities and we will continue to do so until every woman in this province feels safe. We encourage every victim to speak up and allow the law to play its role,” said KwaZulu-Natal provincial commissioner Lt-Gen Khombinkosi Jula.
