She pleaded guilty to having been involved in the fight but said she did not assault him, saying his injury was because he fell during the scuffle. She was remanded out of custody.
It was the state’s case as represented by Precious Takuva
that on April 30 this year around 1730 hours, the accused Sabina Mandizvidza
(60) and her husband Richard Butire (63) were seated in their dining room
discussing family issues.
A misunderstanding arose when Butire questioned his wife
why she had paid a prophet with a goat for cleansing without his knowledge and
consent.
Mandizvidza got angry and took a metal rod on top of a
cupboard then struck Butire twice on the forehead.
Butire sustained two cuts on the forehead due to the
assault and a medical report produced in court stated that he was struck by a
blunt object and sustained a moderate injury.
In her defence, Mandizvidza said Butire was the one who
tried to assault her but he fell on the ground because he was drunk.
She said Butire reported the incident to fix her for asking
for maintenance for he was no longer taking care of her since he married
another wife. TellZimNews
