Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A man from Bulawayo is on the run after he allegedly assaulted his wife with a machete following a misunderstanding over a phone call during the wee hours of the morning.<\/p>\n

Police in Bulawayo have confirmed the incident but did not give the names of the suspect and his victim.<\/p>\n

ZRP spokesperson in Bulawayo Province said the complainant, who is 25 years old, received a phone call from her younger sister from Esigodini at around 1 AM on Monday.<\/p>\n

The husband suspected that the call was from another man and started accusing his wife of infidelity and an altercation arose.<\/p>\n

The man allegedly took his wife\u2019s phone and smashed it on the wall, then went outside and came back holding a machete.<\/p>\n

He used the weapon to strike the complainant several times resulting in her sustaining several cuts on different parts of her body.<\/p>\n

The wife managed to flee and sought refuge at a neighbour\u2019s house who then phoned the police and made a report.<\/p>\n

The wife was taken to the hospital for treatment. Asst Insp Msebele said:<\/p>\n

As police, we warn members of the public to desist from violence and always find the befitting way of solving their differences.<\/p>\n

We also appeal to anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the accused person.<\/p>\n
