Primrose police arrested a 29-year-old Makause informal settlement woman, last Sunday, on a charge of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.<\/p>\n
The woman was arrested after her boyfriend opened a case against her.<\/p>
\u201cThe complainant alleged that he and his girlfriend had an argument about her not doing household chores,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the argument he went to sleep.<\/p>
\u201cWhile sleeping he felt someone lifting the blankets and pouring something on him.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is alleged that the accused poured paraffin on the victim.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter reportedly fetching matches from the kitchen she lit one and threw it at him,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim sustained injuries to the upper body.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman will appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
