The case against an elderly man who doused his girlfriend with petrol and set her alight, in Tafelsig, Mitchell’s Plain, has been postponed to next Tuesday. He appeared in the local magistrate’s court on Monday.
It is alleged that the
woman had an argument with her 64-year-old boyfriend. The mother of two, 41-year-old
Angela Koopman, succumbed to injuries sustained in hospital on Friday. Police
confirmed that the incident is domestic-related.
“Police responded to
the scene early morning and discovered the burned body of the victim who was
later declared as dead by medical personnel who attended to the scene. An
autopsy will be conducted to determine the possible cause of death,” said Lieutenant Colonel
Malcolm Pojie.
