A 49-year-old woman opened a case of assault at the Katlehong South Police Station recently.<\/p>\n

The woman who is two months pregnant, claimed that her 50-year-old ex-husband had assaulted her with a knobkerrie, when he saw her talking to another man.<\/p>

\u201cShe alleged that the accused hit her on the arms, legs and in the stomach during the attack, which took place in Moleleki Extension Two in Katlehong,\u201d said Capt Mega Ndobe from the Ekurhuleni West Cluster.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the assault, the woman was taken to a local clinic for a check-up, as she’s pregnant.\u201d<\/p>

Police arrested the suspect for assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe case will be investigated under the Domestic Violence Act, since the victim and the suspect were married,\u201d explained Ndobe.<\/p>\n
