Lubango - A judge of guarantees from the Lubango District Court ordered today, Friday, the preventive detention of the couple who attacked their son with stones, in the capital of Huila, whose case went viral on social media last week.
A source from the Public Ministry told ANGOP that, given the seriousness of the case, the judge of guarantees applied the most serious measure of coercion and the suspects will await trial in the Lubango penitentiary.
In a 32-second video, which went “viral” on social media last weekend, the 32-year-old woman appears to attack, using a fragment of rock, a 14-year-old minor, the son of her husband, who captured the images.
After the release of the video, in which the woman pins the minor to the ground and hits him several times with a stone on the head until he bleeds, in footage taken by his own 37-year-old father, the Police launched an investigation that culminated in the detention of the couple in the Lalula neighborhood, on the outskirts of Lubango.
According to the source, it was a crime of domestic violence, which occurred at around 11 am, in the vicinity of the Army Sergeant Inter-Arms School. The injured had to be stitched and still receives medical assistance. MS/CF/DOJ
