An Epworth woman was recently sentenced to a wholly suspended 16 months imprisonment by a magistrate after she poured boiling water on her husband’s genitals, accusing him of cheating.
The woman recently appeared before Harare Magistrate Stanford Mambanje, who found her guilty of assault.
Mambanje sentenced the accused to a wholly suspended 16 months imprisonment. Eight months were suspended on condition of good behaviour.
The other eight months were set aside on condition that she performs 280 hours of community service at Epworth Local Board.
Allegations were that on 3 September 2021, the accused got angry with her husband, Tafadzwa Kachepa (33), while in bed and poured boiling water over his genitals. Kachepa was fast asleep.
The accused allegedly attacked her husband soon after the two had finished making love.
She had accused her husband of infidelity after discovering explicit messages from a suspected girlfriend.
Kachepa produced a medical affidavit as evidence of injuries he sustained on the genitals, thighs, and buttocks. | NewZimbabwe.com
