A Nguboyenja man, Auto Giri, has appeared in court after assaulting his wife who had refused to allow him to bring another woman into their house.

41-year-old Giri allegedly slapped his 38-year-old wife Blessing Daka twice in the face.

According to court documents, Giri wanted his girlfriend to move in with them after failing to pay for her rentals.

The name of the girlfriend was not disclosed in court.

Giri appeared before Magistrate Mr Tinashe Tashaya facing assault charges.

He pleaded guilty and was remanded in custody to today for sentencing.

Giri said he slapped his wife because she does not respect him. "Your worship, I tried to talk to her nicely but she insulted me. She was also carrying a tail comb so l was scared that she was going to use it to stab me," he said
