Court Acquits Ndola Woman On Charges of Assaulting Lover’s Wife
By NANCY SIAME
A woman of Ndola accused of biting her lover’s wife has been acquitted after the prosecution failed to prove the case.
Twenty-one-year-old Peggy Kaulu of Pamodzi Overspill was acquitted by magistrate Ben Akende for allegedly assaulting Bibian Lufani, 19, of Pamodzi Township.
“The accused’s defence was not disrupted by the prosecution and it was not shown by the prosecution that excessive force was used,” Mr Akende said.
Particulars of the offence are that Kaulu, on September 12 last year, assaulted Lufani thus occasioning her actual bodily harm.
During trial, Lufani told the court that on the material day, she went to her husband’s house in Nkwazi to collect items for their child.
Lufani said when she arrived at her husband’s home, she found Kaulu and her friend in the house who told her that she was the new wife.
“I asked them what they were doing in my house and the two women attacked me and pushed me outside,” Lufani said.
She said Kaulu bit her on the left side of her breast causing her to sustain injuries and she reported the matter to the police.
In defence, Kaulu said she acted out of self-defence because Lufani poured hot water on her.
Kaulu said Lufani has a tendency of going to her house to insult her.
“I did not intend to bite her, she was fighting me and I was just trying to defend myself,” Kaulu said.
Passing judgment, Mr Akende said the accused had the right to eject the complainant because she was in charge of the house then.
He said the accused had the right to defend herself as she was attacked by the complainant.
“The defence that she did not intend to bite the complainant is accepted by the court and I find her not guilty and acquit her accordingly,” he said.
