WOMAN ARRESTED FOR BOYFRIENDâS MURDER! Sun Reporter .
A 49-YEAR-OLD woman is expected to appear in the Schweizer-Reneke Magistrates Court on Monday, 10 May on a charge of murder.
The woman was arrested on Friday for allegedly murdering her 37-year-old boyfriend.
The police were called to the couple’s place in Charon squatter camp where the man was found inside the house with a stab wound to his chest.
He was declared dead on the scene by paramedics.
“It’s alleged an argument ensued between the victim and his girlfriend, leading to the fatal stabbing,” said police spokeswoman Colonel Adele Myburgh.
The torching of more houses and vehicles has possibly been prevented after two men were arrested in possession of petrol bombs and unlicensed firearms in the troubled Jouberton township in Klerksdorp, North West.
Police said four more houses were burnt down on Tuesday night, bringing to the total of destroyed homes to 11. Four vehicles were set on fire since Sunday.
Of all the damaged properties, very few owners had opened cases with the police amid fears that the suspected gang-related clashes were not over. “Three people have opened cases after their houses were burnt and only one case related to the torching of a vehicle was reported to the police,” said SA Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson Colonel Adele Myburgh.
