Harare Magistrate Mrs Meenal Narotam has fined a United Nations employee US$300 after she found him guilty of physically abusing his girlfriend.
Tendai Matemadondo, who is based in Somalia had pleaded
guilty to the charges.
In sentencing Matemadondo, Mrs Narotam suspended a
three-month jail term before ordering him to pay a fine.
The complainant is Florence Phiri (37).
The court heard that on September 30, Phiri and Matemadondo
were at Bush Baby Lodge in Harare when they had an altercation after he accused
her of planning to kill his mother.
The court heard that Matemadondo pushed Phiri before she
left the room.
On October 1, Phiri went back to Bush Baby Lodge and
accompanied Matemadondo to his mother’s house in Mandara in Harare.
After some time, Matemadondo became violent and started
assaulting Phiri resulting in her sustaining bruises on her arm.
A report was made to the police leading to Matemadondo’s
arrest. Herald
