Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Beitbridge businessman, Jonathan Madhuku (29), was arrested for assaulting his wife after he found a pregnancy test kit on their matrimonial bed.<\/p>\n

Madhuku appeared before Magistrate Vavariro Gabi for assaulting his wife Vivian Rwasunda.<\/p>\n

He was sentenced to 20 months in jail, but he will serve an effective 16 months after the magistrate suspended four months of the sentence if he doesn\u2019t commit a similar offence within the next five years.<\/p>\n

Madhuku has since engaged the services of Patrick Tererai of Tereral Legal Practice to appeal against the sentence.<\/p>\n

The State represented by Tawanda Chigavazira said on 5 November at around 9:35 pm, the complainant had a misunderstanding with the accused over the issue of marrying a second wife.<\/p>\n

The State further alleged that Madhuku got angry and assaulted his wife with open hands on the face and she sustained injuries.<\/p>\n

Rwasunda was reportedly severely injured and left with shaking teeth and eating disorders.<\/p>\n

In his defence, Madhuku told the court that he reacted the way he did because he was provoked by his wife.<\/p>\n

He said when he asked about the test kit, Rwasunda responded by saying he was \u201clucky\u201d that he did not find a used condom in the home. Said Madhuku:<\/p>\n

I found a pregnancy test kit on the bed and when I tried to ask my wife, she warned me not to be shocked as I can even find a used condom in the room.<\/p>\n
