After an alleged drinking spree recently a woman returned home.
When she arrived home she found her 11-year-old daughter in the house.
“It is reported the accused was furious that her daughter hadn’t cleaned the house and took a broomstick and began to assault the girl with it,” explained Capt George Raphulu, head of communications for the Germiston SAPS.

The police are still investigating the incident and the suspect will appear in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court soon.
