A Victoria Falls man has been sentenced to ten months in prison for violating a protection order and threatening to kill his ex-wife.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority, the man breached the protection order by visiting his ex-wife’s home, where he threatened her with a knife and hurled vulgar insults.
The court heard that the protection order had been issued to protect the ex-wife from her former husband’s abusive behavior.
However, the man flagrantly disregarded the order, putting his ex-wife’s life in danger.
In passing sentence, the magistrate emphasized the seriousness of violating protection orders and the need to protect victims of domestic violence.
