A senior cop was handcuffed and beaten up after he was found in bed with his junior's wife.

The senior cop at Gutu Police Station tried to punch his way out of the house and broke one of the constables’ nose. But his angry juniors bashed and subdued him during the incident which happened at around 10PM at Gutu police station on Monday.

A police source said Sergeant Amos Mandiwanza sent a Constable Chikono on an errand so that he could bed Mrs Chikono. Unknown to him, Cst Chikono had received a tip off from colleagues that his wife was having an affair with Sgt Mandiwanza.

Chikono plotted an ambush with his two friends. He pretended to go on the errand. The trio watched Sgt Mandiwanza sneaking into Cst Chikono’s house,” said a police officer who declined to be named.

“Moments later, they walked in on the lovebirds who were naked in bed, having sex. Sgt Mandiwanza became aggressive and attacked Cst Kashiri (24) who was one of Cst Chikono’s friends,” said the officer.

The constables, said the source, allowed him to wear a pair of jeans and by then, a crowd of police officers had gathered to witness the spectacle. “The crowd encouraged Cst Chikono to further assault Sgt Mandiwanza but an inspector came and ordered them to go to the Charge Office. Cst Kashiri made an assault report. The RRB number is 2762057,” said the source. chronicle
