A man was sentenced to three years imprisonment by the Hopetown District Court for contravention of the protection order issued against him. A protection order was issued against Warren Vivian George (33) following a dispute against his grandmother (80).
The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Sergeant Timothy Sam said George contravened the conditions set out by the court in a domestic violence protection order reported by the victim.
“On 10 March 2024, the accused assaulted and insulted his grandmother, who was in possession of a protection order against him.
“The court found the accused guilty as charged and imposed three years prison sentence for contravention of a protection order and also declared the accused unfit to possess a firearm,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Northern Cape Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, applauded the Investigating Officer, Detective Constable Katlego Chabagae for ensuring that the terms of a protection order are respected and perpetrators of elderly care rights are brought to book.
