A Zimbabwean man identified as Barnabas Zarurayi has been accused of damaging his wife’s eye during an altercation that ensued between them over “lack of respect” from her.
Tsitsi Mabwedza who recalled being continously assaulted by her husband in their 14-year marriage which is blessed with 5 kids, said they had a fight after he tried sleeping on the bed with his shoes on.
Mabwedza said; “I told my husband to remove his shoes when he was about to sleep on the bed so that he doesn’t make the blankets dirty and he ignored.
“After that he started using the bedroom as a toilet and when I noticed that I tried stopping him and he said it was his house and no one could tell him what to do.
“I was thrown on walls. I tried to run away and he caught me and started hitting my head on stones resulting in my eye being plucked out.”
Barnabas who accused his wife of lacking respect, however claimed he does not remember what led to the fight.
The man said he was later surprised to see his wife’s eye bleeding, and also added that he doesn’t like people making him angry because he doesn’t know how to control himself.
