On Monday, W S told the Court of Appeal that S S had been continually harassing and insulting her since 2005.In the latest incident, S S, 30, and her father, whom W S was divorced from, visited W S’s house.

They sat in the front yard and shouted insults at W S. When the mother tried to stop them leaving, S S attacked her with a knife, cutting her fingers and legs.

“Then my eldest daughter called the ambulance and we filed a police report,” said W S.

She denied insulting or hitting S S.“She was the one who was always insulting and attacking me, I don't even talk to her anymore,” she said.

“She threatens to kick me out of the house and get me deported, so she keeps filing police reports against me.”
