The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) Bronberg Precinct Officers, arrested a 57-year-old female suspect in Daveyton, for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH), in the Daveyton area.
The 51-year-old female complainant alleges that she was coming back home from the shop and when she tried to open the main gate, she noticed that it was locked and it was not the first time, she was locked outside by her tenant (the suspect). The complainant previously raised her concerns, to the suspect on several occasions and they fell on deaf ears. After using the neighbours gate to gain entry into her property, the complainant went to the suspect’s room and knocked on the door and the lights were switched off. The suspect came out carrying an iron rod and a butter knife. The suspect did not talk to her and started to hit her with the iron rod, on her left hand several times and the suspect, scratched the complainant with the butter knife on her chest, before a concerned neighbour, intervened and separated the two.
The EMPD Officers located the suspect. She was arrested and detained, at the Daveyton police station and will soon appear before the Magistrate’s Court.
