A 29-year-old man from Chililabombwe has been arrested for allegedly axing his wife on both legs after finding her having s£x with two unknown men.
Alex Chola reportedly received a tip-off that his wife was in bed with two men at a certain location.
Copperbelt Province Commanding Officer Peacewell Mweemba stated that the suspect has been charged with unlawfully wounding his 21-year-old wife, Charity Chola.
Mr. Mweemba said the incident occurred on July 12, 2024.
“Brief facts are that on July 12, 2024, around midnight, the accused returned home from work and did not find his wife. Confused, he started searching for her. During his search, someone tipped him off about her location,” he said.
Mr. Mweemba explained that Chola went directly to the specified house and found his wife having s£x with two unknown men.
One of the men punched Chola in the face before both men fled, leaving his wife behind.
“This angered the accused, who grabbed an axe and struck his wife on both legs. She sustained deep cuts and was rushed to Chimfunshi Clinic for medical treatment,” he said.
Mr. Mweemba added that the suspect has been arrested.
