It is alleged that on May 2, 2022 at around 7pm, Kamudyariwa had a quarrel with his wife, Gamuchirai Nemukuyu over her intended business.
The court heard he wanted her to remain a full time housewife.
He then allegedly started damaging his wife’s utensils, including a teapot, wine glasses, cups, plates and jugs before he left home.
He returned home on May 6 and found his wife not home, which drove him to allegedly soak blankets in a bathtub.
Seeing that her husband’s actions were getting out of hand, Nemukuyu went and filed a report against her husband, leading to his arrest.
