This Wednesday, January 11, a 22-year-old resident of La Caverne Vacoas was the victim of an attempted murder. She was attacked with a knife in the street in front of her house, in the presence of her 5 years old son and in front of her mother. According to the last information, her health condition is considered serious. She had to undergo a delicate surgical operation because she had injuries to her lungs.
The suspect, a 29-year-old hairdresser, was arrested by the police. According to our information, she used a bread knife to assault the victim. She appeared before the court of Curepipe, this Thursday, January 12. A provisional charge of assault with premeditation was retained against her. The police objected to her release and she was taken back to the police cell.
According to the police, this aggression has for background an argument between two students, attending a state college in Vacoas on Wednesday. They are nephews of the two protagonists. The hairdresser went to the young woman’s house to ask for explanations following the dispute between the two students but things quickly escalated between the two women.
In her statement, the victim’s mother said that a woman named Jennifer, a resident of Vacoas, came to her house following a quarrel between their nephews at school and an argument broke out. The latter then took out a knife and stabbed her daughter in the left armpit, and fled. “Lin pran kouto la in pik sa anba so lebra. Li pa ti pe kapav respire ni koze” says Jennie.
According to the victim’s mother, the girl was bleeding profusely and was rushed to the hospital by her relatives. When the police were alerted, they searched for the attacker and eventually caught her running barefoot down the street. The girl stated that she had run away because she had assaulted the girl.
