A 58-year-old Zambian woman was on Sunday hospitalised as a result of
a severe cut she suffered at the hands of her husband, who axed her.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS, Joyce Mulenga,
a resident of Chisoso village in Shiwangandu district, said that the
incident happened after a marital dispute on Sunday around 7pm, Lusaka Times reports.

asked why he had beaten up another man’s wife who is a relative and
accused her of committing adultery.

The accused Milton Chileshe has been on the run since the incident happened.

condition of the victim has stabilised and that she is responding well
to treatment well.
