Man arrested for domestic violence in Marlboro

Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela, spokesperson for the Bramley police said, “The man’s wife was in the house with her husband and she had asked him for something.”

Maphakela said the woman asked her husband if he had seen the pegs she used to hang up the washing. “He responded by telling the woman that she was useless and that she must leave his house,” added Maphakela. He said the husband threw washing powder at his wife and assaulted her.

He said the husband also damaged the window of his wife’s car.

He was detained at Bramley Police Station and will appear in court.
