Here is a comment from Vanguard online:

It's so sad. I don't understand, once some people get angry, the first thing they go for is a matchet. The other time, a son got angry and he went for a matchet and used it on the father. May God help us from the 'curse' of the matchet.

I don't think it's only machetes that people use, knives or clubs are also used. I think this boils down to excessive watching of violent movies...

Very weird crime....
