Those fruit paring knives seem to feature a lot in stabbings, especially

Nothing wrong with the headline but for some reason I thought the brother would be about 16 and the sister 14.

If its all true the the world wont miss him.

Darn! Every brother know, not to mess with a garlic-peeling sister.

quote from the OP

"She described him as a smoker and a drinker of spirits and beer who was facing a drugs charge. He had come home drunk, she said, and shouted at her for smoking while she peeled garlic, a job she did there to make money. 

He came up behind her, grabbed her hair and started assaulting her multiple times. "

 

She was using the fruit paring knife at the time. If she was doing something else with another knife she would probably have used that.

 

AFAICS, tome it looks like self defense and she probably didn't even remember that she had the knife in her hand.

 

This si simply my opinion on reading the OP story.
