Gutu small house kidnappers deny conviction

Two Gutu women who allegedly kidnapped, assaulted and subjected a Harare woman to a pregnancy test after accusing her of having an extra-marital affair with one of the duo’s husbands have approached the High Court seeking a review of their conviction.
The suspects, Karen Shenjere (29) and Mercy Mashava (38) were convicted of the offences in Gutu.
In her application, Shenjere she had earlier exchanged text messages with Chiripanyanga, where the latter boasted she was pregnant with her husband’s child.
She argued that after ‘abducting’ the complainant, there was no intention to harm her “but only to remonstrate with her not to continue the affair with my husband because it was straining my marriage.”
“The purpose of driving away was to draw away attention and ensure her safety as Gutu is a small community and we know each other. I feared the onlookers would take sides with me and harm the complainant due to the nature of her promiscuous conduct,” she told the Court.
“I had with me on the fateful day a pregnancy test kit and I demanded that she urinates in a container, so that we could carry out pregnancy test.” Mashava said her role in the matter was so small and denied the allegations.
