Gobabis man claims violent attack by girlfriend

A 42-year-old man says he has had enough physical abuse from his girlfriend of five years when he escaped death after she allegedly stabbed him in the abdomen last month.

David Suze tells The Namibian that the incident happened in May at his home at Gobabis, after he broke up with his partner.

“Because of my work, I do not work at Gobabis so when I returned from work, I found her moving out of the house.

“I came back around 22h00 hours and I found my girlfriend and her cousin moving out.

I told them if they move out, to do it peacefully, I don’t want any drama and disrespect,” he says.

Suze alleges that an argument broke out involving his girlfriend and her cousin, which escalated into violence.

“My girlfriend just came and stabbed me in the abdomen with a knife,” he says.
