[Courtesy]Police have arrested a woman accused of searing her eight-year-old daughter with a red-hot knife for coming home late from school. "Teachers at Fubuye Primary School, which the girl attends, have warned the woman about attacking her daughter to no avail. "I saw the child and wondered how a mother could be so cruel, even to her own daughter," he said yesterday. The victim’s younger brother recounted how his mother reached for a knife that had been in the fire and attacked his sister. “Our mother demanded to know why my sister always arrived home late from school before attacking her with a hot knife," he said.
