A 22-year-old man, from the Delport informal settlement, was arrested on a charge of domestic violence last Saturday.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made after the victim of the alleged attack, the accused\u2019s ex-girlfriend, opened a case against him at the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>
\u201cThe complainant alleged that she was walking with a friend when her ex-boyfriend approached them and started pushing her,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe reportedly reminded the suspect that her parents had told him not to come near her again and he left.\u201d<\/p>
The man later arrived at her home, where she lived with their child.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe allegedly accused her of cheating with the friend she had been walking with and then reportedly began to hit and strangled her with a rope,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the assault, he allegedly took their child and left.\u201d<\/p>\n
Using the information given by the complainant, police were able to arrest the man.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
