A ZIMTA Park woman last week approached the Mutare Civil Courts for protection against her husband whom she said was in the habit of assaulting their children using barbed wire.
Beatrice Nyanhanda appeared before Mrs Anniah Ndiraya accusing her husband, Timothy Nyanhanda of being abusive.
"This man is violent and I need this court to give us a protection order that will protect me and my children. He recently assaulted our 15-year-old daughter with a barbed wire and removed her tooth in the process.
"He is always harassing the children and has threatened to chase them away. I cannot find peace knowing that my children's security is at stake. He has also threatened to come to my workplace to cause commotion so that I lose my job," said Beatrice.
Timothy, however, denied the allegations.
"I never assaulted anyone with barbed wire, neither did I threaten to cause havoc at her workplace. I am no longer employed and things have not been going well in my family such that sometimes I vent my anger on my children," he said.
Mrs Ndiraya granted the order and advised the couple to solve their disputes amicably.
"You need to desist from violence when solving issues and you should not fight in front of your children because they will grow up and emulate those bad habits."
