A 64-year-old man was arrested for allegedly killing his 35-year-old daughter with a spear in the Bohlokong area near Bethlehem, Eastern Free State police said on Sunday.
The woman was stabbed in the chest as she entered her shack on her father’s premises on Saturday evening, said Captain Motarafi Ntepe.
She had left the main house after an argument with her father and was going to sleep in her shack, which was on the premises, said Ntepe.
However, her father followed her and allegedly stabbed her with a spear once in the chest. A female relative, who went to investigate after hearing her scream, found her in a pool of blood.
Before dying, she told the relative that her father had stabbed her, said Ntepe.
The father will appear the Bethlehem Magistrate’s Court on Monday. – Sapa
