A 61-year-old Mpumalanga man handed himself over to the police after he allegedly stabbed his 59-year-old partner multiple times after an argument, used a garden fork to bludgeon her over her head and poured boiling water over her.
It is alleged that he later locked the woman and her sister in their home, set it alight and fled.
Community members rescued them after they heard their screams.
The man, Matsobane Seema, appeared in the Mbibana Magistrate's Court on Wednesday on charges of attempted murder, arson and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The case was postponed and he remains in custody.
