Soldiera��s a�?lusta�� for maid sparks trouble

THE maid just didna��t feel comfort for Comfort Moyo!

Moyo, a soldier, allegedly propositioned his maid but was turned down and when his wife Mariel Chokuda, a teacher, discovered he started abusing her.

But Moyo feels his wife has demons thata��s why she dumped him. Tired of insults and abuse, Chokuda has since approached the Bulawayo Civil Court for protection.

a�?The problem is that he was interested in our maid but that maid rejected him and that is the cause of all this. Every time he gets home he harasses her. I am also now living in fear after he sent me (gory) pictures of that woman from

New Magwegwe who was shot dead by her husband together with her two siblings,a�? said Chokuda.

She narrated the abuse she allegedly faces as a result.

a�?The abuse disturbs me psychologically to an extent that I am failing to concentrate at work. He is threatening to take away our children from me before killing me. He sometimes beats me up especially when I ask him about the $2 000 that I lent him. He is also physically abusing me by violently pushing me against the wall,a�? said Chokuda.

But Moyo said problems in the marriage resulted from his wife working out of town leaving the maid to do her motherly duties.
