IN a fit of pique, a woman from Glendale, Mashonaland Central province caused a stir when she dragged an 18-year-old boy, who is also her neighbour, by his mɑnh00d following a misunderstanding over a missing television set.
This was heard when Constance Lija (35) appeared before Concession magistrate Joshua Nembaware charged with indecent assault as defined in Section 67 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act Chapter 9:23.
Lija, who was not asked to plead and was remanded out of custody, did not come to court leading the magistrate to issue a warrant of arrest. Appearing for the State, Ellen Tanatswa Chingono told the court that on 25 February at around 8pm, the complainant was playing with his friend chasing each other when they ran into the accused’s yard.
The accused, who was in the company of her sister, later confronted the complainant and accused him of stealing her television set.
