KZN boy scalded with boiling water, sister assaulted: Uncle to appear in court
A 27-year-old man has been arrested following a violent domestic incident in Nyoni (Mandeni), KZN, on Saturday during which an 18-year-old girl was assaulted and her eight-year-old brother scalded with boiling water.
The North Coast Courier reports that, according to iLembe SAPS spokesperson Priya Nunkumar-Bukum, the man – who is the children's uncle – became involved in an argument with the siblings before they were attacked, allegedly by him.
'The eight-year-old was scalded with boiling water and taken to a local clinic for treatment,' said Nunkumar-Bukum.
The man was arrested shortly after the incident and is facing charges of attempted murder and assault.
He is expected to appear in the Nyoni Magistrate's Court in due course.
