PRIMROSE Siziba seethed with anger and spewed the f-bomb at her mother and stabbed her in the stomach with a kitchen knife after she was asked why she came home late.

Tarisai Sipanda (47) of Cowdray Park suburb got worried after her daughter failed to come home by 6pm recently on a Sunday.

When she finally arrived at around 7pm, Sipanda who was anxiously waiting for her in the kitchen, asked her why she came home late.

The situation spiralled out of control as Primrose unleashed the f-word at her mum, reached for a kitchen knife and knifed her mother in the stomach.

“I don’t know what got into her head because she is a respectful child, but last week she acted strangely when I asked her why she arrived home late. She insulted me while telling me to go to hell and told me f*** off,” she said.

She added: “She picked a kitchen knife and charged at me while accusing me of ill-treating her. She then stabbed me in the stomach,” she said.

Sipanda cried for help and Primrose bolted out of the kitchen and summoned her athletic abilities to evade arrest.

However, an alert neighbour who was watching the incident while he was standing in his yard, gave chase and caught up with her.

They took her to a police station leading to her arrest, said a neighbour who requested not to be named.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube confirmed the incident: “I can confirm that we arrested an 18-year-old woman who stabbed her mother with a kitchen knife for asking her why she came home late. We would like to advise community members not to resort to violence whenever they are involved in disagreements because at times such fights could lead to unnecessary loss of life.”- B-Metro
