Posted on Leave a comment

A 47-year-old woman appeared in court on Tuesday after she allegedly set her husband’s car alight outside the Boksburg North police station at the weekend.

Police spokesperson Const Justice Ramaube said the husband went to the police station on Sunday to seek help, saying he had been abused by his wife.

Ramaube said while the man tried to open a protection order against her, she went outside and set his Nissan bakkie alight.

“The woman is alleged to have set her husband’s car alight, which at the end affected one police officer’s car very badly.

“A community member who witnessed the [incident] alerted the police who then (searched for her and) … arrested her a few miles from the station,” he said.

The woman faces a charge of malicious damage to property.

A 19-year-old woman who delivered a “decapitated” baby is planning to sue the Gauteng health department.

According to eNCA, the woman had suffered with abdominal pain for a few weeks before she went into labour. The woman, who has not been named, spoke to eNCA.

She then went to a general practitioner, who found that something was wrong with the baby and suggested she go to hospital for further assessment.

The pain persisted, so she went to Tambo Memorial hospital in Boksburg, where a scan was done, eNCA said.

According to eNCA, the woman spent 24 hours with the rest of her baby’s
