Woman burns son’s hand for stealing from neighbour’s pot
A 30-year-old woman, Juliet Moses is in trouble for allegedly burning her 3-year-old son’s hand with hot coal for stealing from their neighbour’s pot.
Narrating what led to her committing the crime, Juliet said, “My neighbour told me my son entered into her house and fetched food from her pot and when I asked him, he refused to tell me the truth, so I put hot charcoals on his hands, I did not know it would burn his hands like that”
“I think I am just teaching him a lesson because that is the way they start. From small stealing, they would grow into big time stealing. I felt when I punish him like that, he will not do so again. This is the first time I burnt his hands like that”
“The wound on his head was as a result of him falling down when I pushed him. Also the iron mark on my daughter’s back, I was not the one who did that to her. My neighbours brought me here because they felt I am maltreating my children. ” She defended
The police Criminal Investigation Department is currently holding the woman in its custody for further investigation.
