An Eastern Cape woman has been arrested after her husband apparently died after being cut by a shard of glass from a mayonnaise bottle hurled at him during an "alcohol-induced argument" on a farm in Aliwal North.
Police said the woman was arrested on Saturday in connection with the death of her 33-year-old husband on the farm Saamwerk.
Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Moitheri Bojabotseha said it was alleged that the man had assaulted his wife on Friday night following an argument.
He said she allegedly retaliated by throwing a bottle of mayonnaise at her husband.
"A shard of glass from the bottle cut through the deceased's upper right arm, leaving him bleeding profusely," said Bojabotseha.
He said medical emergency services were called but the man refused medical assistance but his wife said that she discovered at 5 am on Saturday that he had died.
Bojabotseha said the woman was expected to appear in court on Monday.
