A WOMAN from Nkulumane in Bulawayo has appeared in court
for assaulting her minor children with an electric cord and burning their
fingers, accusing them of theft.
Locadia Nkomo (29) pleaded guilty to ill-treating and
neglecting the minors when she appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Shepherd
Mjanja on Wednesday.
She was remanded out of custody to June 3 for sentencing. The
court heard that on April 22 at around 8am, Nkomo discovered that her children
aged between seven and nine had stolen $15.
Angered by the theft, Nkomo assaulted the children with an
electric cord several times before burning their fingers on a kitchen stove. A
report was made to the police, which led to her arrest.
The children were taken to hospital where they were treated
for the injuries. Newsday
