Family members assaults daughter-in-law

allegedly assaulting her.
The three, Oliver Kanyungwe (69), his wife Judith (60) and their son Gerald (38) of Unit K, were last Friday asked by the courts in Chitungwiza to pay Bhunu US$651.
Chitungwiza Civil Court magistrate Ms Barbra Chimboza ruled in Bhunu’s favour. The trio reportedly had caused her return from South Africa where she was staying with her husband.
They reportedly wanted her to return to her parents’ place.
Kanyungwe, his wife Judith, and their son Gerald sent Bhunu away after the assault.
They, however, denied assaulting her saying she fabricated the charges against them.
Agreed facts were that on April 10 last year, Gerald and his mother, Judith, came from South Africa together with Bhunu.
Upon arrival at their place, Oliver denied Bhunu access to the house saying she was not his daughter-in-law.
He told her that he had a dream where he identified the proper person to marry his son.
Gerald took Bhunu to her aunt’s place in the same area, who in turn refused to accept her. Gerald and Bhunu went to Chikwanha Shopping Centre where she spent the night.
The following day, Bhunu’s aunt accompanied her to the Kanyungwes’ place to inquire of what had happened.
Judith denied them entry and set dogs on them but Bhunu stood her ground and refused to go away.
A scuffle ensued with Judith dragging Bhunu out of the compound.
Gerald joined the scuffle, which also involved Oliver.
Judith allegedly punched Bhunu several times while Gerald floored her with slaps.
Oliver was the last to assault her by poking her head and pushing her out of the gate while trying to seize her baby.
When Bhunu noticed that she could not stand the fight she ran away and reported the matter to the police.
