The Potchefstroom Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit arrested the women in Oudedorp after she forcefully shoved a bottle on the 15-year-old girls’ private parts.
“It is alleged that the suspect and the victim had a quarrel about alcohol and a fight ensued. Subsequent to the incident, the victim was badly injured and admitted to a local hospital,” added NW police spokesperson, Lt. Col. Amanda Funani.
