A woman who stands accused of the attempted murder of her partner has filed an application in court calling for a change in the curfew conditions of her bail.

Mandy Polidano, 22 of Zurrieq, was placed under house arrest last February accused of stabbing her boyfriend Antoine Borg, causing him serious injury.

The woman pleaded not guilty and was placed under house arrest against a personal guarantee of €5,000.

The court was told that Mr Borg had forgiven her for her action. The stabbing followed an argument which started when the woman asked her boyfriend to bathe because the bedsheets were clean.

In today's application, Ms Polidano said the curfew was hindering her from performing her duties as a mother to her four-year-old son.

She said she had not been able to take him to midnight Mass with his classmates and she had not been able to take him to his grandmother's.

Dr Joe Mifsud signed the application.
