A university student has left her housemaid fighting for her life after stabbing her with a knife for sleeping with her husband.
The woman who is a student of MIDLANDS State University in Zimbabwe
was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment by a court, The Chronicle
reports.
It was gathered that the woman pummelled her housemaid and stabbed her twice with a knife.
Sibusisiwe Sibanda (26) who resides in Senga, Gweru, pleaded guilty
to assault before magistrate Ms Judith Taruvinga. The magistrate
sentenced her to 18 months but suspended three months on condition of
good behaviour.
Prosecuting, Ms Chipo Chitsunge told the court that on November 2
at around 5PM Sibanda had a misunderstanding with Nyaradzo Mucheyi.
“Sibanda was accusing Mucheyi of having a love affair with her
husband. The accused person went into the house and took a knife. She
tripped the complainant, who fell to the ground. Sibanda sat on her
chest and started choking her.
“Using the knife that she was holding in her other hand,
Sibanda stabbed the complainant once on her right shoulder and once on
the right cheek,” said Ms Chitsunge.
The court heard a fellow housemaid rescued Mucheyi.
Mucheyi, the court heard, reported the matter to the police, leading to Sibanda’s arrest.
“The complainant suffered some injuries and was referred to
Gweru General Hospital where she was medically examined and a medical
report was compiled,” said Ms Chitsunge.
