“The victim told police the suspect had allegedly assaulted her after she asked him to slaughter, as she was busy with other household chores,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“The suspect allegedly became angry at the request and told her she had no right to ask him to do such a chore as the man of the house.
“He then reportedly grabbed a sharp object from a nearby drawer and stabbed her in the upper body.”
