“When I was done with the washing and stood up to spread them, I saw the woman with machete standing very close to my doorstep. She said if I say I’m a woman I should come and continue washing the clothes. My son was just at the doorstep, I then rushed to go and carry my baby, but she got him before me. That was how she used the machete on my baby’s head, and she cut it almost into two places.
