A Harare woman appeared in court on Friday facing charges of murder after she allegedly fatally stabbed her husband during a domestic dispute.
The suspect, Prisca Takaza (29), was remanded in custody when she appeared before Harare magistrate Isheunesu Matova.
According to prosecutor Rufaro Chonzi, the now-deceased arrived home intoxicated and joined Takaza in bed. Shortly after, an argument broke out between the couple, with the deceased accusing Takaza of cheating among other accusations.
The argument escalated, with the couple shouting at each other, before the deceased allegedly began assaulting Takaza. It is alleged that he choked her, causing her to fall to the floor near a dish filled with kitchen utensils.
In an attempt to defend herself, Takaza reportedly grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her husband once in the chest.
