A grandmother here hacked her husband to death with an axe last week after he accused her of starving him of his conjugal rights.
Rosemary Chivhanganye, 52, appeared before Gutu magistrate Nyasha Vhitorini facing murder charges.
Chivhanganye is accused of fatally axing her husband Shandu Muzhanye after the two quarrelled on why she had denied him sex for almost three months.
It is the state case that on April 14, Muzhanye, who was allegedly drunk, arrived at his homestead in Musiiwa village under Chief Mukaro in the evening and confronted his wife.
It was further alleged that Muzhanye demanded to have sex with his wife in front of their 13-year-old daughter, accusing his wife of denying him sex.
The wife allegedly turned down her husband's demand. After a heated argument, Muzhanye rushed into the house and grabbed an axe.
The wife attempted to run away from the kitchen hut but was blocked on the door by the charging husband. He allegedly attempted to strike his wife but she blocked the axe using her hands. She armed herself with an axe and hacked her husband on the head.
Muzhanye allegedly collapsed, bleeding profusely. He died on the spot.
A police report was made leading to the arrest of the granny.
The magistrate remanded her out of custody to June 2.
