Rhoda Roselyne Sibanda (26) of Bulawayo was arrested after scalding her landlady Lorraine Dlamini (24) with boiling water. The reasons are yet unclear although sources told the Chronicle that it was reportedly over a man.
Dhlamini said:
She is my tenant and on Wednesday while we were trying to paint the house, she came to me and said she could spill hot water on me. I took it lightly and she took boiling water which was in the kitchen and poured it over my body.
Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango confirmed the matter saying:
The two were staying together as tenant and landlady in the same house in Pumula. We were told that they were playing when Sibanda poured boiling water over Lorraine’s body who in turn sustained serious burns from her face to her chest.
