Sunday, October 27, 2024 – A newlywed Zimbabwean bride from
Bulawayo, Sisasenkosi Mpofu, abandoned her husband on their wedding night to be
with her secret lover.
The groom, Mbongeni Moyo, was reportedly left stunned as his
wife left him to spend the night with Geshom Gwatiringa, a police officer
stationed at Hillside Police Station.
According to B-Metro, Mpofu returned the next day without
offering any explanation. Suspicious, Moyo, a church elder at the Seventh Day
Adventist Church Iminyela branch, checked her phone and discovered intimate
messages exchanged with Gwatiringa. Confronted with the evidence, Mpofu
admitted to spending the night with her lover, which led to a heated argument.
In a dramatic twist, Moyo allegedly enlisted his
brother-in-law and friends to confront Gwatiringa at his home at 1 a.m.
Prosecutor Christina Manyika reported that one of the accused grabbed
Gwatiringa by the neck, accusing him of infidelity. The confrontation led to
legal repercussions, with Moyo and his accomplices now facing attempted murder
charges.
They pleaded not guilty in court.
