A 102-YEAR-OLD woman was on Friday subjected to cruel treatment after she demanded her cellphone back from a young man who borrowed it.
The incident occurred at Okapa village in the Ruacana Constituency of the Omusati Region.
According to the police, a 36-year-old suspect was arrested after he allegedly threatened to stab the woman when she demanded her cellphone that the suspect borrowed from her.
The value of the cellphone is estimated at N$400.
The suspect was very much infuriated by the centenarian’s demand, so much so that he went into a rage. He allegedly damaged the complainant’s room doors and used a knife to damage her mattress valued at N$200.
The suspect was arrested and faces four charges: domestic violence; theft under false pretence; assault by threatening, and malicious damage to property.
