A KWEKWE man got himself into trouble after he forced his
wife into a deep freezer filled with water before locking it for some time as
punishment for allegedly cheating on him.
Lyton Kanda of Rutendo, Redcliff reportedly ordered his
wife Ms Lizznet Gumbo into a deep freezer full of water before locking it for
about 30 minutes after he accused her of infidelity.
He was slapped with a 14-month jail term after he appeared
before Kwekwe Magistrate Mrs Samukhelisiwe Gumbo.
Kanda was found guilty on two counts of assaulting his wife
and another one of malicious damage to property.
Prosecuting, Ms Chipo Hungwe told the court that on August
17 this year, Kanda had a misunderstanding with Ms Madzura after he came across
some text messages on her mobile phone.
An argument ensued and Kanda grabbed a kitchen unit drawer
which he used to strike the woman with once on the face.
He then poured 80 litres of water into a deep freezer and
ordered her to get inside or risk unspecified action.
Ms Madzura got into the freezer and Kanda locked it for
about 30 minutes. After he later freed her, Kanda disappeared and the
complainant made a police report.
Kanda was subsequently arrested and arraigned before the
courts facing two counts of assault and one of malicious damage to property.
He pleaded guilty and argued that he was forced into doing
all this due to her wife’s actions. Chronicle
