A SILOBELA woman and her husband are admitted at Silobela
hospital where they are nursing injuries after their son turned against them
for trying to stop him from assaulting a rival.
Mrs Otillia Hlabangani sustained serious head injuries
while her husband Mr Cain Hlabangani sustained a fractured limp after their son
James Hlabangani assaulted them with a log for trying to stop him from
assaulting Mr Mthulisi Ndebele over an undisclosed matter.
James was last week arraigned before Kwekwe magistrate Miss
Vimbai Mtukwa facing physical abuse charges.
He was not asked to plead and remanded in custody to 27
September for trial. The State led by Mr Freddy Ndoro alleged that on 9
September, at around 6pm, James and Mr Ndebele had a misunderstanding while at
the Hlabangani’s homestead.
The two were involved in shoving and pushing resulting in
James rushing into the kitchen and came back armed with a log intending to use
it to assault Ndebele. His mother, disturbed by the noise, rushed to stop James
who was about to attack Mr Ndebele using the log. This, however, did not go
down well with James who turned against his elderly mother and attacked her all
over the body with the log.
Disturbed by his wife’s screams for help, James’ father, Mr
Hlabangani rushed out and he too, was attacked using the same log. Other
villagers effected a citizen arrest on James before handing him over to the
police.
Mr and Mrs Hlabangani were taken to hospital where they are
still admitted. Sunday News
