Tichafa Muchemwa (36) of 7 Chivangu Road in Zengeza 3 vented his anger on his wife Voilet Kueri (32) after receiving a call from her sister advising him to buy their two children some winter clothes.
The incident took place on May 22 at around 6am, when Kueri’s sister saw their children improperly dressed during a cold day. She jokingly called Muchemwa who became angry about the issue.
When Kueri entered in their room, she told the court she was surprised to see her husband seething with anger.
Trouble started when Kueri inquired why he was angry.
Instead of answering, Muchemwa threw his cellphone hitting her on the shoulder and stormed out of the room.
When Kueri asked him to forgive her sister an argument ensued resulting in Muchemwa punching her twice until she fell to the ground.
After gaining strength, Kueri tried to escape but was punched again on the chest. She screamed for help, prompting their landlord and fellow tenants to try rescue her but they failed.
He tore her clothes leaving her naked in full view of their children and he continued punching her in that state. After that, he tied his wife’s legs to stop her from escaping.
Kueri escaped after he fell asleep and reported the matter to the police leading to his arrest.
