A 42-year-old woman was recently arrested by the Primrose police for assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm and malicious damage to property.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made after the victim opened a case with the Primrose police, alleging that she was beaten and threatened by the accused.<\/p>
She explained to officers she had been at home bathing when she heard a knock on the door.<\/p>\n
She opened the door ajar, so she was able to see who was there.<\/p>
It was then that the accused allegedly pushed open the door, damaging the locking system, and without a word began beating the victim with a wooden stick.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim sustained injuries to her face,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
Before leaving the victim, the accused threatened her with a sharp object.<\/p>\n
Using the description given by the victim, officers were able to trace and arrest the woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are appealing to our community to seek professional help when they have problems and not take the law into their own hands,\u201d added Maome.<\/p>\n
The suspect appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where the matter was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
