A police constable from Mabopane Block X is wanted for stabbing his wife on Sunday.
The independent police investigative directorate (IPID) said it was in possession of the docket.
Spokesperson Grace Langa said the man came home from work and ordered his wife to open the door for him.
“He then followed her [to the bedroom], forcefully opened her legs on their bed and put two fingers inside her private parts. He said to her, ‘look at what is coming out of your private parts’,” Langa explained.
The man, according to Langa, then accused his wife of infidelity saying she was sleeping with other men when he was not home. He then stabbed her several times.
Langa said the wife (28) was taken to hospital with major external injuries, and she was now at home recovering.
“We were told that the constable’s gun was taken away from him by the Station Commander [prior to the attack], had he had it with him, he might have used it to kill his wife,” Langa said.
The IPID is investigating a case of rape, assault with grievous bodily harm and attempted murder.
