Nachola Ward MCA Lawrence Lorunyei, who visited the child in hospital, condemned the incident, saying there was no reason a quarrel between the suspect and her husband should have resulted in such a deadly attack.
Mr Lorunyei said the suspect was among people who had fled their homes in Kawap due to insecurity and asked for counsellors to visit the area and seek out and help residents who could be suffering from depression.
