“The accused, who are living together as couple, jointly beat the complainant mercilessly, they also bit her on her breast, thereby inflicting injury on her. The complainant was in the kitchen baking cake when the duo approached her and asked her to remove the cakes from their table.

They ordered her to leave the table she was using to bake her cake but as she was preparing another place to put the cakes, they just poured kerosene on the cakes. Ms Okwaza then insulted them for pouring kerosene on her cakes and they descended on her, beat her up and biting her breast.

Fight ensued and they tore Okwaza's clothes. When she could not take the beating, after hitting Alayonde with a frying pan, Okwaza shouted for help and two other neighbours came to her rescue,” the prosecutor narrated.
