AN EPWORTH woman has been jailed six months for biting off another woman’s finger.
Beauty Mutemeri (33) was initially jailed for 12 months when she appeared before Ms Nyaradzo Manokore early this week.
However, six months were set aside for three years on condition that she does not commit a similar offence within the same period.
Mutemeri bit off Trish Matuta’s finger after picking a brawl last year in Harare city centre.
Prosecutor, Ms Belinda Chimuka, had it that on the day in question, Mutemeri, who appeared to be drunk, went to Matuta’s vending stall at the corner of Robert Mugabe and Cameroon Street.
On arrival, Mutemeri started shouting obscenities at Matuta and went away.
After two hours, Mutemeri returned and attacked Matuta with a can of beer. She destroyed her wares, resulting in her fighting back.
Passersby intervened and tried to refrain the two from fighting. At the height of the fracas, Mutemeri bit off Matuta’s forefinger.
Mutemeri then ran to the police to lodge a complaint, but Matuta followed her and narrated her side of the story.
