Pietermaritzburg mom forgives son who stabbed her seven times
Durban - A Pietermaritzburg mother has apparently forgiven her son for repeatedly stabbing her last week after he had become frustrated when he could not find his bank card. While Sen Govender’s seven wounds to her shoulder, neck and forehead are still fresh, she is said to be ready to stand by her son, Pregalathan, 34, who is facing a charge of attempted murder.
He appeared in the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court last Tuesday and was remanded in police custody. His formal bail application is scheduled for next week.“It has been a rough time for all of us,” he said. He added that while his aunt remained committed to standing by him, they hoped Pregalathan received the help he needed.
“His mother told us that she would like to have him in her care when, or if, he is released. But we advised her that it would be best that he gets help from a professional at a treatment centre.”
