“The accused claimed that the boy insulted him, then he took a cutlass and threatened to chop off his head.” PRO: The boy ran into his home and the accused followed him .

“ When the boy’s mother Jonfolo intervened, the accused told her, I wish your husband was here, I will cut off his head, but since he is not here, I will cut off your son’s head and hand it to you.”

PRO noted that the lady pleaded with the accused to forgive his son. When she attempted to throw her wrapper on the floor seeking forgiveness, the accused hit her head with a cutlass.
