Zimbabwe: Sentence Irks Woman

21 November 2017

A Chitungwiza woman allegedly assaulted a 64-year-old man at Chitungwiza Magistrates' Courts yard after she felt discontented with the court's ruling over a case in which the man's son was found guilty of who stealing from her. Sharon Rutunga (27) of Unit D, Seke, attacked Godfrey Karimazondo of Zengeza 4 on his way back home after his son was convicted of theft and sentenced to 30 days imprisonment.

This sentence did not satisfy Rutunga, who went on to demand restitution from the accused's father. Rutunga pleaded not guilty to assault charges when she first appeared before Chitungwiza magistrate Mr Francis Mapfumo in October. The matter was remanded to November 24 for sentencing.
