The Primrose police recently arrested a 42-year-old man for murder.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made in the Makause informal settlement after the victim\u2019s sister reported the crime.<\/p>
\u201cShe explained to officers that on July 17 the accused had allegedly poured boiling water on her sister and she had to be rushed to hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hospital called her a few days later saying her sister had died, and fearing the accused would flee to Lesotho, where he is from, she rushed to inform police of the incident,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
Officers responded swiftly and the man was arrested and detained at the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
