POLOKWANE - A 17-year-old teenage girl is expected to appear before the Senwabarwana Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 10 November 2025, facing a charge of attempted murder after she allegedly poured hot water on a 20-year-old woman and hit her with a bottle. The incident occurred at Denstaat village under the Alldays policing area in the Capricorn District on Friday, 07 November 2025 at about 21:00.

It is alleged that the 20-year-old female victim was asleep when the suspect woke her up and confronted her about photographs she allegedly found on her boyfriend’s cellphone. During the heated confrontation, the suspect allegedly poured hot water over the victim and further struck her several times on the head and face with a bottle.

The victim sustained serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment. Police were immediately summoned to the scene, and a case of attempted murder was opened. The suspect was swiftly arrested shortly thereafter.

Police investigations are continuing.
