His wife, Diana Chauke, was jailed for an effective 15 years after the court found that she played a key role in facilitating the offence. Harare Court Details Why Madzibaba Gathry And Wife Were ConvictedAccording to H-Metro, Magistrate Chivasa described Madzibaba Gathry as a “manipulative sadist” and found the complainant’s testimony to be truthful, consistent and supported by medical evidence. Court Rejects US$500 Debt DefenceThe magistrate dismissed Madzibaba Gathry’s claim that the allegations were fabricated over an alleged US$500 debt (about R8,250) owed by the complainant’s mother.
