A woman who used a knife to stab her 15-year-old daughter in the thigh over the teenager’s supposed sexual conduct was sentenced to 14 months’ jail on Wednesday.
The woman, who cannot be named to protect the victim’s identity, had previously pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt by an instrument likely to cause death.
The court heard that the woman was drinking alcohol at home on the night of June 19 last year.
Her two daughters, aged 15 and 20 at the time, were in the flat along with their baby brother and domestic worker.
In the wee hours of June 20, 2022, the younger daughter was preparing to go to bed when her mother entered her room and began scolding her.
The mother called her older daughter in and asked her if she could kill the younger daughter. Fearing that her mother would turn her anger on her, the older daughter hesitated to intervene.
The mother retrieved a knife from the kitchen and again asked if she should kill the younger daughter.
She then stabbed the 15-year-old girl in her right thigh, causing her to bleed. The girl also received a cut on her arm as she tried to stop her mother.
