Man Fined Five Beasts For Bedding Son's Wife
A man from Rushinga District, Mashonaland Central Province, has been fined five beasts by a traditional court for incest after he was caught red-handed between the sheets with his son’s wife.
Munashe Kahonde was caught by his son Peter Mafuta in the latter’s house in bed with his daughter-in-law.
Kahonde was brought to Headman Chipara’s Community Court after being caught committing adultery with his daughter-in-law in her matrimonial home.
Reports suggest that Kahonde was trapped after there was a suspicion about his marital affair with his daughter-in-law.
H-Metro was told that Kahonde, a nurse aid at Chimandau Clinic, hid under Mafuta’s bed for the night when Mafuta came back home. Said Mafuta:
The day Kahonde fell into a snare, he was betrayed by his shoes that were found at the corner inside the bedroom.
My wife refused to admit but I rummaged the bedroom until I found him in stealth under the bed.
Kahonde received a tongue-lashing from Headman Chipara who said the man’s conduct was against social customs, values and ethos.
This was actually Kahonde’s second time to be dragged to his Court with such type of cases, the headman revealed.
Kahonde had already lost more than seven beasts within a year paying victims of his adultery cases.
Headman Chipara ordered him to pay five beasts – three for Mafuta and two for traditional authority for the incest case.
