This came after Lucia Mualusi's husband, Rudzani, failed to pay R2500 for a bakkie he had leased from the policeman.

The woman was allegedly choked, slapped and punched by the officer, who also knelt on her abdomen, a newspaper reported.

The couple were in bed on Saturday when they heard a knock on their door.

They were confronted by the officer and seven other men, four of whom were in police uniform. The group broke down the burglar gate.

"The constable stepped backwards and pointed a firearm at me," Rudzani Mualusi told the newspaper.

"He told me he wasn't here to play. I went back to the bedroom to fetch his car keys."

He escaped through a back window..

Mualusi said the constable was arrested on Monday at Olivenhoutbosch, and was granted R1000 bail. He is due to reappear on September 28.

Seems like police officers nowadays are just gun-craze, when they're in their uniforms they feel they are untouchable and terrorise everybody standing in their way... Muthaf#cka must just be jailed for causing the death of the infant + assaul for grievious bodily harm, period... But then again, our justice system....
