An 18-year-old teenager from Rusike, Marondera is alleged to have stabbed her father twice while trying to rescue her mother from his attacks over conjugal obligations.The 18-year-old teenager only identified as Winnet was arrested today for the crime.
State media reports that the incident occurred today at around 2:30 am in Rusike Phase 3 when Wadson Chatida (44) arrived home and demanded sex from his wife Prisca Chatida (36).
Prisca reportedly informed Wadson that she could not fulfill his desires since she was on her men_strual cycle, a development which did not go down well with him and he started assaulting her.
Prisca started screaming and the noise attracted their two daughters who rushed to the bedroom in an attempt to rescue their mother.
It is alleged that Prisca managed to escape to the kitchen, but Wadson pursued her and continued with the assault while their two daughters were trying to restrain them.
Further allegations reveal that after all efforts to rescue their mother had hit a snag, Winnet is reported to have grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her father in the abdomen and on the right shoulder.
Wadson was seriously injured during the knife attack and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
Wadson is now battling for his life at Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare, while Winnet is in police custody.
This incident comes barely a month after a 19-year-old teenager who fought off and killed a sex pest who was attempting to rape her was arrested and charged with murder.
The young woman, Tariro Matutsa of Nyenda Village, Mutoko was charged with murder following the death of 40-year old Sure Tsuro.
Following her arrest, Rozaria Memorial Trust along with Zimbabwe Women Lawyers Association (ZWLA) and Women and Law in Southern Africa (WLSA) deployed lawyers and a counselling expert to assist Tariro.
