An Epworth woman reportedly ditched her husband of eight years for another man, leaving behind three minor kids.

Luwiza Alberto, 26, a fish-monger plying her trade in Norton, left home on Friday last week claiming she wanted to place her order as usual.

She reportedly left behind her husband Cliff Mugova in the custody of their three children aged two, four and eight respectively and never returned.

Luwiza was reportedly unreachable prompting Cliff to suspect that she had been arrested, only to get the shock of his life when his call was answered by another man claiming she was his wife and was doing chores at his house.

“It disturbed me much after making several unanswered calls and I quickly suspected that she had been arrested for illegal vending,” said cliff.

“I checked with different police stations only to be answered by a man claiming that my wife of eight years was his.

“It shows that she has been cheating on me all along saying she was going for business when in fact she was having an illicit affair with this man,” said Cliff.

Cliff made a police report at ZRP Epworth at their Victim Friendly Unit under reference 120-14.

“I made a police report and I am sure if they talk to my wife’s young sister Beatrice we will know where Luwiza is.

“My mother in law must be aware of Luwiza’s whereabouts because she came and snatched her knickers and I strongly suspect that she wanted to take them to her,” added Cliff.

“Can the police arrest her to tormenting my kids?” said Cliff while holding the young child in his arms.

Luwiza’s mother Edna Rushesha, 52, confirmed the incident saying Luwiza could have left because of poverty.

“I am under pressure from my son-in-law since Luwiza ditched him because of his laziness,” said Edna.

“My daughter has been fending for the family for quite some time and her husband is too lazy such that it does not come as a surprise to me that she ditched him.
