IN a bizarre incident which left Chegutu residents of Umvovo suburb dumbfounded, a woman "ironed" her stepson with an electric iron after finding the toddler sitting on a sofa.
Appearing before magistrate Mr Tinashe Ndokera at the Chegutu Magistrates Court on Monday, Dadirai Nyachena (25) allegedly burnt Ashley Kanito (4) on the cheeks, hand and leg sometime this month.
Nyachena, who resides at house number 23193 Umvovo, also went on to pinch the kid on the cheeks before ironing his right foot for the "offence".
After hearing screams from the accused's house, neighbours rushed to investigate only to find Kanito wailing in agony with blisters on his face and leg.
The state, represented by prosecutor Mr Solomon Kanyoka, remanded Nyachena out of custody to July 15 for trial.
