A 38-year-old man allegedly thrashed his wife with a belt on Valentine’s Day resulting in her death four days later, a magistrate heard.
Victoria Falls magistrate Sharon Rosemani heard this when Collen Munkuli of Aerodrome appeared in court recently charged with murder.
Munkuli was remanded in custody to March 6, as investigations are still in progress.
It is yet to be established why Munkuli assaulted his wife Samantha Mpala who died at Victoria Falls General Hospital four days later.
Prosecuting, Takunda Ndovorwi said Munkuli assaulted Mpala with a belt all over the body and failed to take her to hospital until her condition deteriorated.
“On February 14 the accused was at home with his wife when he assaulted her with a belt all over the body,” said the prosecutor.
“Mpala sustained a cut on the right eye and bruises on the hands.
“She also sustained stomach side pains and had difficulty in breathing and the accused did not bother to take her to hospital until her condition deteriorated on February 17,” Ndovorwi said.
Mpala was rushed to Victoria Falls General Hospital where she was admitted but died the following morning due to the injuries she sustained as a result of the attack, the court was told.
Munkuli was arrested on Thursday last week.
