Son kills mother with spear

A 45-year-old man has allegedly murdered his mother with a spear in
Willowvale, Queenstown, Eastern Cape police said on Tuesday.
Captain Lingisile Magama said the man, also suspected of being mentally
ill, arrived home on Monday night armed with a spear.
He found his 60-year-old mother and told her he was looking for his
sister. He allegedly told her he wanted to kill her.
After his mother told him that his sister had not arrived home the man
went to a nearby bus stop to wait for her.
The mother followed him and tried to reason with him, but he would not
listen. She eventually asked him to kill her instead of her daughter,
which he did.- Sapa
