A LIMPOPO baby has been stabbed to death by his father while on his mother’s back.

The 11-month-old baby was killed at the Nancefield hostel in Musina on Saturday during a row over booze between the parents.

Limpopo police spokesperson Superintendent Mohale Ramatseba said yesterday that the baby was stabbed in the head and died instantly.

The mother had allegedly remonstrated with her 57-year-old husband about his drinking when the man alleged attacked her and the baby.

He said the man chased the mother with a knife and the child was then stabbed.

Ramatseba said the father was arrested and was expected to appear in the Musina magistrate’s court today. – Alex Matlala
