Her son was also seriously injured in the violent assault.

According to a report filed at Bamburi Police Station, officers established that the attack occurred at approximately 3:00 a.m. in the Utange Mkunguni area.

Two unidentified assailants broke into the house by cutting the grills on the kitchen window. Armed with a crowbar and a knife, they launched a brutal attack on Abubakar and her son.
