Ex-convict seeks court’s help to stay away from crime

A HARARE man, who was recently released from prison through the Presidential Amnesty, last week approached the civil court seeking a protection order against his estranged wife whom he said was bent on ensuring he returns to prison.

Samuel Shamhu, who was jailed after being convicted of rape, told Harare magistrate Johanna Mukwesha that he could be sent back to jail if his ex-wife Natasha Mutyambizi continued to provoke him.

He pleaded with the court to be granted a protection order against Mutyambizi whom he accused of provoking him to assault her so that he could be sent back to jail for domestic violence.
