Oct 5, 2012 | Sapa | 31 comments

A Jabulani, Soweto, man allegedly poured acid over his wife when he heard she was about to divorce him, Gauteng police said.

When Love Hurts

"After realising his wife was about to divorce him, he allegedly went to her house and poured acid on the woman's head," Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela said.

She suffered severe burns during Thursday night's attack. Her relatives reported the crime to the police.

The 44-year-old man would appear in the Protea Magistrate's Court on Monday on a charge of attempted murder.

This is the most awful thing to do to a person. One is rendered permanently disfigured and it is extremely painful, for a very very long time. Deep tissue is destroyed and extensive reconstruction, sometimes over years, is often necessary just to repair basic functions like nose, smell, eyes. A colleague was attacked in this way by a jealous boyfriend several years ago, and she is still suffering severe pain and has to undergo regular surgery in order to slowly but surely reconstruct her face. The perpetrators are guilty of something far worse than murder.

''Her relatives reported the crime to the police''

They should have killed him on the spot and make a ''self defence'' claim later when the police arrive. He is a coward, he doesn't deserve to be called a man.
