A 24-year-old woman who is married to a police officer
appeared before resident magistrate Florence Nago last Friday and was convicted
for scalding her husband with boiling water over allegations of infidelity.
The accused, Progress Muchingami pleaded guilty to the
charges and was remanded in custody for sentencing.
According to the State papers, on April 30, the
complainant, Tafadzwa Webster Muchingami (37) went to take a bath and left his
phone behind. Muchingami then took her husband’s phone and exchanged sim cards.
The complainant went to work without
noticing that the sim cards had been exchanged.
Around 19:00hrs, the complainant came home and the accused
sat beside him after putting a pot on the boil. She later checked the water and
put a cup on the other stove plate as if she wanted to prepare tea.
She returned and sat beside the complainant and started
shouting at him claiming his girlfriend had been looking for him and she spat
on his face twice.
Muchingami tried to stop her from spitting at him but she
became even more cross and later took a pot from the stove and threw the hot
water on her husband’s chest.
The victim got scalded so badly that that he had to be
rushed to Ndanga Hospital where he got admitted. Tell Zimbabwe
