A Madziwa woman is assisting police with investigations after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend with a broken beer bottle in a jealous affair.

Selina Mandaza is facing an attempted murder charge after she allegedly stabbed John Jekanyika (32) with a broken bottle in the stomach.

Deputy Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Sergeant Major Samuel Chikasha confirmed the case.

"I can confirm an attempted murder case in Madziwa where Mandaza stabbed Jekanyika with a broken bottle after seeing him drinking with a woman who later proved to be his niece," Chikasha said.

Allegations are that when the accused arrived at a local bar in Madziwa, Mandaza did not bother asking who her boyfriend was drinking with but went on to attack him.

After being stabbed he bled profusely and was rushed to Madziwa hospital where he was transferred to Bindura hospital.

Jekanyika sustained a deep cut on the stomach and two deep cuts on the shoulder and is battling for life at Bindura hospital

Police discouraged people from taking the law into their own hands by being violent.
