months in prison before the magistrate suspended 10 months on condition of good

she completes 490 hours of community service at the Victoria Falls Police

at his place of residence in the same suburb to try and resolve a dispute.

the couple was fighting. The neighbours found Mr Muregi bleeding and rushed him
to hospital.
