A suspect who allegedly beat his girlfriend and stuffed his underwear in her mouth was arrested for domestic abuse.
An investigation will determine if and when he will appear in court.
Police spokesperson Captain Allie Kodisang said the incident occurred at about 6 pm on 22 July at the suspect’s 17th Avenue home. When the victim told the suspect that she was leaving as it was getting late, he insisted that she slept over. He apparently then became aggressive and left her locked in the house until about 11pm.
On his return, she asked to use the toilet and when he opened the door she ran away. The suspect chased and caught the victim and dragged her back by her hair. She claimed that she screamed and he threatened to kill her if she did not keep quiet. He then shoved his underwear into her mouth and forced her to spend the night with him. She reported the incident in the morning leading to his arrest.
