The injured boy is nursing life-threatening injuries and is
unable to speak.
The suspect, Austine Kapulula, appeared before Harare
magistrate, Mrs Yeukai Dzuda, who remanded him in custody to February 18.
Prosecutor Ms Ruvimbo Matyatya told the court that the seven-year-old boy is
now in the intensive care unit following the gruesome attack by his biological
father.
“The accused person was positively identified by the
complainant. He (Kapulula) locked the child inside the house denying him access
to go out.
“The victim is not able to speak due to the abuse and the
victim is currently admitted at Sally Mugabe hospital in the Intensive care
unit (ICU).”
It is alleged that prior to the ghastly attack on his son,
Kapulula had a dispute with his wife (name not given) accusing her of
infidelity and challenging the paternity of the boy. Denying bail to Kapulula,
Mrs Dube said the accused is likely to abscond because he now knows the gravity
of the case and there is a high chance that he may interfere with witnesses.
