Bloemfontein - A police officer from Odendaalsrus in the Free State is expected to appear in court today for allegedly burning her niece with an iron after a dispute over money.
Maria Lebeko (35) has been charged with assault and corruption.
The corruption charge stems from her alleged attempt to bribe her 17-year-old niece’s father with R10 000 to get him to drop the charges.
The incident took place on Boxing Day, but Lebeko, along with Pulane Mokodutlo and Lebogang Molebatsi were only arrested this month.
Lebeko was granted R3 000 bail while her two co-accused were granted R1 000 each.
Lebeko is a member of the SAPS’ organised crime unit in Welkom.
