A TWO-YEAR-OLD boy was rushed to hospital after being
forced to sit on hot plate by his stepmother.
The toddler’s father Trust Maganga, 27, and his wife Yvonne
Chifamba, 23, were detained at Waterfalls Police Station on Tuesday.
Yvonne is alleged to have forced the boy to sit on a hot
plate stove following a misunderstanding with Maganga accusing him of
infidelity.
The two later sought medical treatment without a police
report. Deputy provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Webster
Dzvova confirmed the arrest.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police would like to confirm the
arrest of a Waterfalls couple in connection with a case involving a minor,”
said Ass Insp Dzvova.
“Circumstances were that that the step-mother of the child
had a misunderstanding with the father accusing him of infidelity.
“During the debate the step mother is alleged to have
grabbed the minor and placed him on a hot stove and the couple are reported to
have agreed to conceal the act.
“Investigations have since begun and we would like to thank
members of the public for supplying information that led to the arrest of the
two.
“Police continue to urge members of the public to report
any criminal activities within their
communities to police for the law to take its course,” said
Ass Insp Dzvova.
One of the family members told H-Metro that mother of the
child released the child in April after being approached by Maganga.
“We want the law to take its course because we strongly
suspect that the step mother had planned to fix the minor’s mother,” said the
family member.
