A 41-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested for rape and attempted murder. According to the North West police spokesperson, Lit Colonel Amanda Funani, a man who is currently separated from his wife, allegedly called her and organised an ‘emergency’ meeting between them.
Funani said as per agreement, the estranged husband fetched the wife from her parental home on 29 December 2021 and drove towards a local mall.
“However, the husband changed directions and headed to their house at Lerome village near Mogwase outside Rustenburg. Subsequent to an argument that ensued after the pair’s arrival in Lerome village, the husband allegedly assaulted and strangled the wife with a rope.
“He then poured her with petrol and eventually raped her. Consequent to the rape, the suspect allegedly forced the victim into his car and drove away with her. However, the victim managed to unlock the vehicle and jumped out,” she said.
Funani said the wife was assisted by a ‘Good Samaritan’ who was walking along the road. She said the wife was taken to the police station where charges of attempted murder and rape were laid against the suspect.
Funani said the suspect was arrested on 30 December 2021 and is expected to appear at the Mogwase Magistrate’s Court for attempted murder and rape on 3 January 2022.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena condemned the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) incident and congratulated the Mogwase Detectives for arresting the suspect.
Kwena said GBV will not be tolerated and the alleged perpetrators will be dealt with effectively.
