A BULAWAYO man yesterday pleaded with a magistrate to jail his wife for at least a year for allegedly scalding him with cooking oil on the face and chest following a misunderstanding.

Clemence Ncube, 40, of Cowdray Park suburb revealed to the Western Commonage court that he feared his wife, Miriam Phiri, 25, was going to kill him.

On January 26 at around 9PM,  the couple had a misunderstanding over a phone call Phiri had received the previous night at around 11PM.

Phiri allegedly did not answer the phone call and when asked who wanted to talk to her, she did not answer.

The accused person boiled some cooking oil in a saucepan and locked the door from inside. She then poured the hot cooking oil on the complainant's face and chest as he was passing by the kitchen, a local publication revealed.

Ncube sustained burns on the face and chest and was referred to hospital.


Ndebele remanded her out of custody to February 11 on free bail.
