On the evening of May 3, a shocking incident took place in Bottom Village, All Saints. A 44-year-old man returned home at around 8:20 p.m. and confronted his 15-year-old daughter and son regarding their failure to do the laundry.
The story was first spotted in Real News, which reported that this led to a heated argument that escalated into a violent confrontation, leaving the father injured.

The event has left the community in shock, with one mother commenting on the deeper societal issues reflected by such family violence.
