By A Correspondent- A Murriel Mine woman who ganged up with her younger sister to beat up her husband’s girlfriend has appeared in court charged with assault.

Priscilla Femera, 30, and her younger sister Anna Phiri appeared before Chinhoyi provincial magistrate Tapiwa Banda.

The complainant, in this case, is Precious Munyaradzi, 39.

The two were lucky to escape imprisonment after they were found guilty and fined $10 000 each or risk spending 30 days in jail if they fail to pay the fine.

Prosecuting, Review Nikisi told the court that on March 31 at around 5pm, Femera gathered information to the effect that her husband was having an affair with Munyaradzi.

She teamed up with Phiri and went to confront Munyaradzi at her place of residence.

Upon arrival, Femera called Munyaradzi who was just entering the bedroom from the compound, where she had gone to collect a debt.

As Munyaradzi was coming out of her bedroom, Femera without saying anything, manhandled Munyaradzi and dragged her to the flower bed and was joined by Phiri in assaulting her.

They were refrained from further inflicting harm on Munyaradzi by Godfrey Chapanda.

During the assault, Munyaradzi lost her A16 Itel cellphone and US$65 which was on the back cover of the cellphone.

The matter was reported to the police leading to the arrest of Femera and Phiri.
