Love Birds connive to steal a double bed

I can do anything for love! This saying came true yesterday at Plumtree magistrate court, where two love birds appeared before Plumtree magistrate Mr Joshua Nembaware for unlawful entry into premises.

The two Tarisai Garai (45) and Bambanani Sibanda(43) are girlfriend and boyfriend, even though Sibanda is married. They stunned the court after saying they stole the bed so that they can have a nice place to have quality time.

The duo appeared before Plumtree magistrate Joshua Nembaware who sentenced them to 30 months imprisonment of which 6 months imprisonment was suspended for a period of 5 years on condition the two do not within that period commit any offence of which dishonest or unlawful entry is an element for which upon conviction is sent to imprisonment without the option of a fine.

Hence, 24 months imprisonment is effective.

Prosecutor Selestine Madziwa told the court that sometime in October last year, the complainant left Garai as caretaker at her house but did not give her keys.

Some time in December, the duo broke into the house and stole a double bed.

The complainant made some inquiries and discovered that Garai had stolen the bed and she implicated her boyfriend.

A police report was filed, leading to their arrest.
