Woman pours hot water on her husband for not picking her from church
A Bulawayo woman allegedly poured hot water on husband for coming home late and failing to pick her from church, leaving the man severely scalded.
The woman identified as Alice Chigwida had an argument with her husband, Mr Davies Chitagu, after he came home around 10 pm.
She waited for her husband to sleep before boiling water and pouring it all over his body .
A family member who declined to be mentioned for fear of victimisation told Chronicle that the lady ignored her husband’s plea while pouring the hot water on him.
“When she feared that he would die on their matrimonial bed, she helped him into their car and went to dump him at a surgery in the city before telling his relatives that he was in hospital,” the family source said.
Bulawayo police spokesperson, Inspector Abednico Ncube, confirmed the incident and said investigation has already been launched.
“I can confirm that we are dealing with a case of domestic violence where a woman scalded her husband with boiling water following a domestic dispute. Further investigations into the matter are underway,” Inspector Ncube said .
He urged members of the public to desist from violence.
Fortunately Chitagu survived the incident and has since been discharged from hospital, though he still has bandages on his body.
