A Bulawayo man was arrested for assaulting his gardener with an axe after catching him in bed with his wife.

According to myzimbabwe.co.zw, Patrick Mbedzi walked in on 19-year-old Mncedisi Sibindi and his wife in his bed before he struck his gardener on the arm with an axe in a fit of rage.

Mbedzi had returned home to fetch his cellphone. He called out his wife but did not get any response.

Mbedzi stated that he became suspicious when he found his bedroom door locked. He fetched an axe and chopped the door down to find Ndlovu and Sibindi undressed in bed.

Both Ndlovu and Sibindi denied having sex and claimed that they were putting up curtains in the bedroom.
