“The victim requested the suspect to deliver the message on his behalf once her neighbour returns home a thing which angered the suspect to the extent that the two picked a quarrel,” she said in a statement on Monday, August 15, 2022. 
In the heat of the argument, the suspect took a pot of hot water from the fire and poured it onto the back of the victim, she said.
