A CHIPINGE man was last Tuesday fined $100 for bashing his wife after being denied conjugal rights.
Manica Post reported that Oliver Musomo (20), of House Number 3886, Gaza E, Chipinge was convicted on his own plea of guilty when he appeared before Chipinge magistrate, Poterai Gwenzhira on assault charges.
Prosecuting, Witness Nyamundaya told the court that on May 8, around 12 midnight, Musomo wanted to be intimate with his wife, Locardia Dhliwayo (20), but the wife refused, much to the chagrin of her sex-craving husband.
"Musomo then went to sleep on the ground with their child. After some minutes Musomo asked Locadia to be intimate again and Locardia refused.
Musomo assault Locardia several times on the right shoulder and face. She sustained bruises and had a swollen face, forcing her to lodge a complaint with the police," said Nyamundaya.
When asked why he assaulted his wife, Musomo said he was angered by her actions to deny him his conjugal rights.
"I beg for a lighter sentence. It was anger that led me to assault my wife who had refused to be intimate with me. I suspect she was cohabiting with another man," said Massimo.
He was fined $100 or 30 days in prison.
