“My daughter came to my home on Friday afternoon bleeding profusely from the nose .She said it was her husband who assaulted her. After a while, Changwe came and took her to their home where in the night, again he battered her leaving her bleeding from her private parts where he was kicking her,” Mambwe explained.
