Woman charged with stabbing father

A 42-YEAR-OLD Larnaca housewife was yesterday charged with attacking her father with a kitchen knife.

Mother-of-two Irini Xeni was charged by Larnaca CID for assaulting her 67- year-old father Pantelis Ipermachou during a domestic row on Sunday.

Pensioner Ipermachou is now being treated at Nicosia General hospital for a knife wound to his right wrist.

The stabbing was the culmination of a heated argument at Ipermachou’s Larnaca home during a Sunday afternoon visit by his daughter.

Xeni has since admitted to police that she assaulted and injured her father in a moment of anger.

She was charged and released yesterday to appear in court at a later date.
