The conflict started when a five-year-old boy and a six-year-old boy engaged in a dispute over a toy bicycle, with one child allegedly bumping the other with the bicycle.
Instead of resolving the matter calmly, the mothers of the two boys engaged in an argument, taking sides with their respective children. The 29-year-old mother of the younger boy and the 39-year-old mother of the older boy have an exchange of heated arguments.
The argument reached a critical point when the 39-year-old mother allegedly insulted the younger mother by calling her “bigaon,” an offensive term. Prompting the 29-year-old mother grabbed a knife and stabbed the other woman.
