A newlywed bride from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, Sisasenkosi Mpofu, shocked her husband, Mbongeni Moyo, by abandoning him on their wedding night to be with her secret lover, Geshom Gwatiringa, a police officer at Hillside Police Station.
Mpofu returned the next day without explanation. Suspicious, Moyo, a church elder at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Iminyela, checked her phone and uncovered intimate messages between her and Gwatiringa. When confronted, Mpofu admitted to spending the night with her lover, sparking a heated argument.
In response, Moyo allegedly gathered his brother-in-law and friends to confront Gwatiringa at his home around 1 a.m. Prosecutor Christina Manyika reported that one of the group grabbed Gwatiringa by the neck, accusing him of infidelity. This confrontation resulted in Moyo and his accomplices facing attempted murder charges, to which they pleaded not guilty in court.
