A Pretoria east woman charged for her boyfriend’s murder is expected to appear in court on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old woman was arrested after the body of her boyfriend was discovered in her home in Mooikloof Ridge, east of Pretoria last week.
On Monday, Boschkop police spokesperson Sergeant Yeroboam Mbatsane said the woman appeared in court on Thursday, but the case was remanded for Wednesday, for a formal bail application.
Earlier, Mbatsane said that the boyfriend’s body was found wrapped in a refuse bag. He had multiple wounds.
“The security guard and the police were called to the house by the suspect’s sister and on arrival, they found the body of a 40-year-old man in the garage,” he said.
Mbatsane said the police were also notified that the girlfriend had been admitted to hospital after allegedly drinking petrol the day before the body was discovered.
She was under police guard before being discharged.
Police also found an axe, handcuffs, and a doormat soaked in blood inside the boyfriend’s vehicle.
