A teacher allegedly struck his wife with a brick on the forehead after she sang him a birthday song while still in bed. The wife intended to surprise him by singing a birthday song, but she was struck with a brick for making noise. Takura Nyikadzino (31) struck Janet Matizanadzo (29) on the forehead after she sang him a birthday song while he was asleep. Janet reportedly went to the bedroom where Nyikadzino was sleeping with the intention of wishing him "happy birthday" on turning 31.
Her singing infuriated him who then struck her with the brick. He pleaded not guilty to contravening the Domestic Violence Act when he appeared before the magistrate court.
The court remanded Nyikadzino to December 11 on US$50 bail. As part of his bail conditions, Nyikadzino was ordered to reside at the given address and not to interfere with State witnesses.
