Former provincial education inspector Fred Nyamhanga Shavi (64) of Southdowns low-density suburb in Gweru appeared before High Court judge Justice Martin Makonese facing allegations of killing his wife Netsai Ncube who was a lecturer at Midlands State University.
In his defence Shavi told the court that he killed his wife in self-defence after she tried to attack him with an iron hoe in their bedroom following differences over extra-marital issues. Narrating the incident Shavi said:
My wife later joined me in bed after a long time. She later went to the toilet where she again took a long time before coming back armed with an iron hoe which she raised to hit me on the chest while I lay in bed. I blocked the blow before grabbing the tool and hitting her back.
