A married man is in trouble with the law after allegedly kidnapping his sidechick and her young child before subjecting her to a brutal assault inside his moving vehicle. Marvellous Baro, a 30-year-old man, has found himself behind bars following the shocking incident, which left the woman battered and bleeding.
Baro appeared before Regional Magistrate Mark Dzira to face two serious counts of kidnapping. The court was told he entered a plea of not guilty. His application for bail was firmly denied by the magistrate, and the case was remanded to the 8th of September.
The ordeal began on the 4th of August after Baro, his lover Nothabo Sibanda, her three-year-old child, and other relatives had spent the day together.

It is alleged that the accused stormed out of the vehicle, grabbed the complainant by her throat, and punched her directly in the face. The situation rapidly escalated despite the pleas of those present. Even with her screams for help and attempts by his own friend to restrain him, he allegedly overpowered everyone and forcibly pushed Nothabo and her toddler into his car.
The court heard that Baro drove at a dangerously high speed while simultaneously attacking his trapped passenger. He is accused of periodically stopping the car solely to continue his vicious assault on Nothabo, who was left bleeding profusely from her nose and mouth.
