She plunged the knife into Tonderai Kamhuka after the two
had a blazing row when her child trespassed into Kamhuka’s yard. The teenager beat
up the seven-year-old boy who was playing with other children and the younger
boy alerted his mother about the assault.
“The accused then asked the teenager why he was beating her
child and the teenager became angry and charged towards the mother after
cutting a branch from a nearby lemon tree and trimmed the stick using a knife,”
Inspector Chitove said. The teenager
then started beating the accused before she ran into the house where she picked
a kitchen knife which she then used to stab him once on the back of the head
and in the stomach.
The woman sustained a cut on her left hand while the
teenager sustained a deep cut in the stomach and his intestines protruded
outside. The boy is now at Parirenyatwa while the woman will be charged with
attempted murder.
