A MUTARE man was yesterday arraigned before the courts after he chopped off three fingers of his wife’s lover in a case of alleged infidelity.
The accused, Emmanuel Matemba, appeared before Mutare magistrate Richard Ramaboea facing assault charges.
Matemba denied the allegations and was granted $20 000 bail. He will be back in court on April 23.
State prosecutor Chris Munyuku told the court that on February 14, the complainant, Jefrey Chetsango (25), received a phone call from Edson Makukuku inviting him to his house to discuss church matters.
Chetsango then went to the house.
Just a few minutes after arrival, Matemba stormed Makukuku’s house holding a machete and struck the complainant once on the left hand, hacking off his three fingers.
Matemba accused Chetsango of dating his wife.
