SHE thought her lover was cheating, so she cooked up a plan to stop him running after other women.
On Saturday, Sarah Stanley (35) went to her parents’ place to cook pap and decided to lock her boyfriend, Jan Rieter (42) in their shack.
But her plan nearly killed Jan, when the shack caught fire and he was almost burnt to a crisp!
Despite their flirt with tragedy, Jan and Sarah kissed and made up as the shack in phase 7, Mangaung, smouldered.
It’s suspected the fire was started by Jan’s nephew, who lived in the shack, after he had a fight with his girlfriend. Sarah told Daily Sun: “My Jan often slept out on weekends and I decided to lock him inside when I went to my parents’ shack nearby.
“I was shocked when I saw smoke coming from the shack and neighbours screaming for help. I thought I would never see my boyfriend again but luckily he was saved.”
Jan blamed the fire on his 23-year-old nephew.
“He fought with his girlfriend and she left while I was sleeping. I started coughing when smoke came out of his room and I heard people screaming,” he said.
“Luckily residents managed to rip open the zinc wall and save me. I’ve never cheated on my girlfriend but she’s very jealous.
“I’m not angry with her but I am with my nephew, who’s nowhere to be seen."
