Motswana student in Australian jail for stabbing fiancee

Thursday, August 26, 2010

A Botswana student has been languishing in an Australian jail since Monday for attacking his girlfriend with a pair of scissors. According to reports from Australia's illawaramercury.com.au tensions over fidelity led to the attack.

Marshall Kuda Mahube, 23, who appeared before Wollongong Local Court allegedly told police he'd had a bad day on Monday because his girlfriend had phoned him several times at the University of Wollongong to check on him.

During the alleged assault, police say the commerce student called his fiance a "fat bitch", hit her in the face and then stabbed her twice in the back and four times in the legs with a pair of scissors at his flat.
