THE woman was arrested for allegedly killing her boyfriend. And when the people saw her on the streets, they marched to the cop shop.
On Wednesday, the residents of Clare Estate, Durban demanded to see for themselves that the woman was behind bars.
The woman allegedly stabbed her boyfriend (36) to death on Sunday and was arrested on the same day. But on Monday residents saw her walking on the street.
They took the woman back to the Sydenham Police Station and asked the cops to arrest her again.
And on Wednesday they protested outside the police station. They wanted to see that she was locked up.
Six representatives were taken to the cells where the woman is being kept by police.
Ward committee member, Mamsie Blose (50), said: “She deserves to be behind bars for what she has done.”
The dead man from Inanda was found with several stab wounds on Sunday in his girlfriend’s shack. They had allegedly been fighting.
His mother (53) said she last saw her son earlier in the month when he came to ask for help to get an ID.
“My son didn’t deserve to die like this.”
Colonel Thembeka Mbhele of the KZN SAPS spokeswoman said the reason the girlfriend was seen on the streets is because cops were still busy with their investigation.
She said that two witnesses submitted their statements on Wednesday and that’s when cops arrested her.
“A case of murder has been opened and the suspect was detained for further interrogation.”
She confirmed Sunday’s incident, saying that the couple had an argument on the day.
“The girlfriend was stabbed in the forehead. The deceased was found dead, lying in a pool of blood.”
