Charles Hill Station commander Lefa Kareng advises men to stop carelessly throwing words around. He is convinced that some men find themselves in hot soup because they threatened to harm their partners in the heat of a moment.

“We are not down playing the fact that some men do abuse their lovers, however some utter threats without understanding the impact they will have on the next person. Unfortunately the law is the law, once one spews threats of ending a life, the police will intervene,” he said.
