The witness said she followed the boy into the house and saw the woman in critical condition:
“I went in and saw the bride lying there by the doorway. Her head was cut, and her hair was spread out like this. The whole house was covered in blood.”
The woman said police and an ambulance were subsequently called.
The witness also recounted what the victim’s mother had told her. The woman had wanted a divorce, but her husband had not agreed, she said:
“He said, ‘Give me the child, I want to kiss him, I want to see him.’ He took the child, then pulled out a knife and attacked the woman, stabbing her.”
