A 44 year old Binga widower kidnapped a 14 year old minor claiming she is compensation for losing his wife.
Fanuel Mudimba lost his wife in January and told his in-laws that he wants one of the family daughters as his wife to replace the deceased one.
He said his wife did not bear ant children before she died.
But his in-laws would not have any of it and that angered Mudimba.
Binga magistrate, Stephen Ndlovu heard that in March the girl went missing for days at his parents homestead.
The suspected that Mudimba could have kidnapped her so they notified the local police who found the girl at Mudimba’s hut.
But in court Mudimba denied kidnapping the girl and claimed that they are lovers and she came voluntarily.
Ndlovu then ordered the girl to go for a medical check up and remanded Mudimba in custody to April 26.
