A
jealous husband has meted out a capital punishment on his alleged
cheating wife by stuffing pepper inside the woman’s vagina in a fit of
rage.
The
man was thereafter arrested and charged before a magistrate court on a
two counts of domestic violence which he made a plea of innocence to.
32-year-old
father of two, Mkhululi Mhlanga, from Mlagisa Village, Tsholotsho in
Zimbabwe received a four year jail term by a resident magistrate,
Abednico Ndebele who suspended six months conditionally for three years,
reports Myzimbabwe.co.zw.
The
stunned magistrate confessed that the case was among the ‘most barbaric
domestic violence’ he has ever handled, adding that the verdict would
serve as a deterrent to other people who intend to indulge in such
dastardly act.
Ndebele said, “The courts are worried by the
escalation of domestic violence cases in Tsholotsho and we feel it’s
high time we send a message to the accused person and his ilk that
harming and ill treating one’s wife will not be tolerated by the
courts.”
During the hearing of the case in court on
Friday, March 6, 2015 prosecutor Sikhumbuzo Sibanda disclosed that the
defendant had a scuffle with his wife on her alleged infidelity sometime
in November 2014.
He said, “After exchanging harsh words and
calling each other names, the man lost his temper and picked up a log
which he used to assault her all over the body.”
He reportedly
battered his wife mercilessly on the fateful day leaving her with
severe injuries which left her confined her to a bed for about two
weeks.
Instead of feeling remorseful for his deed, Mhlanga
proceeded to the hospital where his wife was on admission and
subsequently stuffed a considerable amount of pepper inside the woman’s
vagina.
The man took advantage of her condition as she could not run away and took pepper and stuffed it in her private parts.
While
pleading for leniency, Ncube urged the court to tamper justice with
mercy being that he had no money and managed to feed by doing some
menialf jobs and begged the court to be lenient with him.
Doctors who ran a test on the victim revealed that her vagina was actually filled with pepper.
