A 37-year-old policewoman doused her husband while he was asleep with paraffin and then tried to torch his privates, prosecutors said when she was arraigned before a Bulawayo magistrate yesterday.
Majority Ndlovu, 37, who is stationed at ZRP Bulawayo Traffic West section, flew into a rage after her husband failed to open the door for her, Western Commonage magistrate Tancy Chimiso heard.
Frank Ncube, for the prosecution, said Majority arrived home shortly before 10pm on December 28, 2013, but got no response after knocking on the door several times.
Her husband, Victor Ndlovu, 34, was already in bed. Their maid later unlocked the door following an order from Victor as Majority had resorted to damaging the door in a bid to gain entry, the court heard.
"On entering the house, Majority confronted her husband over why he had delayed opening the door and an altercation ensued between the two," said Ncube.
The court was told that Victor then went to the bedroom to retire leaving his wife in the lounge. He allegedly opened his wife's handbag and fished out an agreement of sale for a house the couple had bought and hid it.
Majority later followed her husband and found him snoring. She searched her handbag and discovered that the agreement of sale was missing from her handbag.
She took a bottle containing paraffin and poured it all over his body before grabbing his private parts attempting to light a match stick, the court was told.
"Majority demanded that Victor surrender the agreement of sale while holding a box of matches threatening to set her husband alight if he refused to hand over the document," said Ncube.
The two wrestled until Victor managed to overpower his wife, snatching the matchbox from her before he bolted out of the house.
In an affidavit, Majority admitted to the charge. She however, argued that it was not her intention to burn her husband.
"I admit to the charge (of physical abuse) levelled against me. I had no intention of burning him and all I wanted was for him to give me my agreement of sale," she says.
Chimiso remanded Majority out of custody to today on $50 for trial.
