In an unusual departure from the country’s typical Gender Based Vi0lence (GBV), a young woman is accused of st@bbing her ex-boyfriend in his sleep before biting off the astonished man’s lower lip! Boitshwarelo Supang, 34, appears to have taken cold, calculating retribution on her former partner, Albert Kgothang, 38, after being dumped.
Although the inj_red guy is currently undergoing medical examinations, and the extent of the damage to his mouth is unknown, Supang was granted bail by Molepolole Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (November 19, 2024). The Khudumelapye village woman was charged with unlawful wounding and left the courtroom beaming brightly this week. If proven guilty, she faces a seven-year jail term.
The drama dates back to 5th October, when the suspect informed Kgothang she was coming to the cattlepost, where he worked as a herdboy, to collect her clothes since he had called time on their relationship.
However, instead of leaving with her things immediately, Supang stayed for three nights, reportedly showing no signs of frustration.
The peace continued until 8th October, when the alleged man-biter prepared supper for Kgothang.
“After finishing the food, the man went to sleep, leaving Supang at the fire place. While sleeping, he was awoken by a sharp st@b on the right cheek; to his surprise, he rose to find Supang holding a knife. While trying to escape, she st@bbed him again on the shoulder,” stated a source, adding it’s not clear what prompted her vi0lent mood swing.
In the commotion that followed, Kgothang is said to have grabbed the knife from his attacker and thrown it away.
Still drowsy and weakened by his stab w0unds, the complainant was overpowered by Supang, who allegedly pinned him to the ground before ripping off his lip with her teeth.
Enraged and in severe pain, Kgothang fought back, beating off his ex before fleeing into the night.
The matter was eventually reported to the police, who took the bleeding man to the clinic where he was referred to Scottish Livingstone Hospital and discharged the following day (9th October).
Meanwhile, Supang will appear for case status update on 10th February next year.
