A suspect who allegedly beat his girlfriend and stuffed his underwear in her mouth was arrested for domestic abuse in Johannesburg, Alex News reports.
An investigation will determine if and when he will appear in court.
Police spokesperson Captain Allie Kodisang said: “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.”
