A Zimbabwean five year old boy was yesterday morning stabbed to death at his home in Scotland in an incident that has seen the toddler’s mother arrested at the scene.
ZimEye.com can exclusively reveal the lad found in Clackmannanshire yesterday is a Zimbabwean boy killed in an incident that has seen his mother being the sole suspect in the case.
Police have said they are not looking for any other suspect other than the mother.
ZimEye.com is reliably told the woman whose surname is “Chiriseri” has been a member of Walter Masocha’s AGAPE church.
Several streets had to be cordoned off by police when law enforcement agents were called to the flat in Alva, Clackmannanshire on Friday. The full details of how the stabbing occurred were still being investigated by cops at the time of writing but ZimEye has been told they have now reached an advanced stage in their vital evidence gathering.
Chief Inspector Stephen Sneddon said: “On arrival, police officers found the child with a significant injury to his body and he was later pronounced dead at the scene by the Scottish Ambulance Service.
 
“Inquiries into the full circumstances surrounding this incident are ongoing and a woman is currently detained in connection with the investigation.
“We are not currently looking for anyone else and I want to reassure the local community that there is no risk to them.
 
“Police officers will be carrying out various inquiries in the area and I would ask the public to continue to give us the full support they have shown so far, to allow us to conclude these investigations as soon as possible and allow the area to return to normal.
 
“This is a quiet area and I would emphasise that this is a very unusual incident which poses no risk to others.”
