His girlfriend claimed that this was not the first time he had attacked her.
“Each time the woman attempts to end the abusive relationship, she is answered with threats of violence. In a prior incident, she was reportedly taken to a deserted field, where her life was again threatened,” said Kate Lorrimer, DA Shadow MEC for Community Safety.
“I have written to the Commissioner to request an urgent investigation into the incident.”
The News has approached the Independent Police Investigative Directorate for urgent comment and is awaiting their feedback on the matter.
