By A Correspondent- A 28 year old drunk man has been arrested after he slashed his father with a grass slasher for restraining him from bashing his girlfriend for allegedly leasing his sexual goodies to a neighbour.
The dramatic incident happened last week on Thursday at around 09:30PM at Kingsdale plots.
While Henry Gukwa was in his bedroom beating his flame with fists for having a sexual affair with his neighbour, his father Misafadzo Gukwa heard the noise and dashed to Henry’s bedroom and tried to cool the tempers.
But the tables turned as Henry ran berserk and manhandled his father for siding with his girlfriend, the court heard.
It is said he head-butted him before turning him into a punching bag.
It had to take Henry’s mother to restrain the marauding Henry who was all over his father.
It is said Henry broke free and reached for a slasher.
He “slashed” his father on the head and leg before he fled, leaving him wailing and bleeding on the ground, the court heard.
The bleeding Misafadzo staggered to Queenspark police station where he reported the matter. Misafadzo was referred to hospital where he was admitted and has since been discharged.
Cops tracked him (Henry) down and arrested him in the city centre last week on Saturday.
He was arraigned before Tredgold courts’ magistrate Shepherd Munjanja facing physical abuse charge. He pleaded guilty.
He was remanded out of custody and will come for sentencing on 18 February.
