Two Angolan women were arrested, accused of murdering their children in two separate cases, in a total of four children killed, during the past week, Luanda police said today.
According to the spokesman for the Luanda provincial police command, Nestor Goubel, in the first case, the woman is being accused of the crime of voluntary manslaughter by stabbing, for the death of her children aged 09, 07 and 04.
The crime will have been committed when the woman removed the children from her ex-husband’s house, having entered an unfinished house along the way and stabbed her children aged 9 and 7, who died immediately.
The third child was rescued by people who took her to a hospital, but she died due to the severity of her injuries.
Another child managed to escape, Nestor Goubel told Lusa.
The Luanda Police spokesman stressed that, in the other case, the woman is suspected of having killed her 1-year-old son.
Nestor Goubel stressed that neighbors heard the child’s screams and intervened, but he died.
