Guruve Man Arrested For Assaulting Daughter For Behaving Promiscuously
A 55-year-old man from Guruve has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his daughter with a switch after a video of the attack surfaced online. The assault is said to have been over claims of immorality and abandoning her child at a local lodge.
In the video, the father is seen holding a log while confronting his daughter, whose body is wrapped in sacks, leaving neither her upper body nor legs visible.
He then breaks the log in two and uses it to strike her back as she screams, denying the allegations of infidelity (kuita zvechihure).
