Man Attacks Wife With Machete Over A phone Call

A man from Bulawayo is on the run after he allegedly assaulted his wife with a machete following a misunderstanding over a phone call during the wee hours of the morning.

Police in Bulawayo have confirmed the incident but did not give the names of the suspect and his victim.

ZRP spokesperson in Bulawayo Province said the complainant, who is 25 years old, received a phone call from her younger sister from Esigodini at around 1 AM on Monday.

The husband suspected that the call was from another man and started accusing his wife of infidelity and an altercation arose.

The man allegedly took his wife’s phone and smashed it on the wall, then went outside and came back holding a machete.

As police, we warn members of the public to desist from violence and always find the befitting way of solving their differences.
