Officer Bashes ex-Wife over Kid's Hospital Bills
A 30-year-old police officer from Chitungwiza got arrested and sentenced for physically abusing his ex-wife over their kid's hospital bills.
He appeared in court, facing charges of physical abuse.
Apparently, on May 12, 2024, he met his ex-wife at the hospital where their son was being treated. They argued about who would pay the bill, and things got out of hand.
He started punching and slapping her with both fists and open hands, hitting her all over. She went to the police station and reported him, and he got arrested.
The court fined him $120 or 20 days in jail if he couldn't pay. He also got a suspended jail term of three months, but he has to behave for two years or he'll be in big trouble.

The musician was arrested on Tuesday over a debt he incurred after buying a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon from a car dealer in the state.
Portable reportedly paid N13 million for the SUV worth N27 million and refused to pay the car dealer the N14 million balance.
According to PUNCH Online, Portable, during the purchase of the vehicle worth N27m, paid only N13m and had refused to pay the N14m balance.
After efforts to get the balance from the singer failed, the car dealer complained to the police and Portable was subsequently arrested.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest to SaharaReporters on Tuesday evening, saying,
I can confirm that. He was arrested for the failure to pay the debt he owed, that is his G-Wagon. He deliberately refused to pay the balance. And that is up to N14 million.
The musician had to be dragged into a police van after he attempted to evade arrest. Videos circulating online show the singer jumping over the gate only to be apprehended and dragged into a police vehicle.
