WOMAN DEFIES SUPREME COURT, DRAGGED TO COURT

A Harare woman appeared in court for contempt of court for allegedly denying the father of her child access as ordered by the Supreme Court last month.

Kate Worsley Worswick, 34, was summoned to court last Friday and appeared before magistrate Munashe Chibanda.

She was released unconditionally into her lawyer’s custody the night before her court appearance.

The complainant is Markos Athitakis.

The court heard that on March 16, Athitakis obtained an order by consent for unsupervised access to his daughter on weekends.

The order stated that Worswick or her assignee would deliver the child to Athitakis on weekends from 9am to 4pm.

Worswick, however, failed to deliver the child in violation of the Supreme Court order prompting Athitakis to file a police report.

The matter was remanded to April 27 for trial commencement.
