'Small house' scalds sleeping lover's genitals with cooking oil

A 26-year-old Mvurwi man will regret the moment he answered a "suspicious" phone call as he was quickly scalded with hot cooking oil on his genitals by his small house.

The man, Austin Bhero is reportedly receiving treatment at Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare.
 
According to H-Metro, his lover Emilia Ratera who is 29 year old fled the scene.

Bhero said his niece had called and Ratera answered it but the conversation did not go down well.

"My private parts were burnt while sleeping since I was facing upwards after watching television following an altercation over a phone call from my niece."

"I want to thank one of our neighbours who rushed to help me as Emilia was hiding behind the house following our conversations and she disappeared after she heard that we were to lodge a complaint with police against her."

"We discovered a pot with boiling cooking oil in the kitchen and realised that Emilia was behind this before she fled the scene."

"She never indicated that she had that intention after her anxiety to know about the caller and she boiled cooking oil after discovering that I was asleep and scalded me."

"I woke up writhing in pain and I could not see anyone in the room and ran out half dressed shouting for help and one of the elderly women quickly arrived and asked where  Emilia was."

"Emilia was nowhere to be seen and could not answer phone calls only to answer the following day saying she was in Guruwe where her aunt lives."

Bhero said they had been lovers for more than a year.
