A court attendant who listened to the ordeal vomited while listening to the details of this nasty ordeal. Cops say on February 13 2012, the accused cooked porridge for the child who was headed to daycare. After preparing the porridge, Pelagia then fed the child. As the child ate the mother noticed a drop of blood in the porridge and ordered her child to stop eating.
She left court attendants numb after she was found guilty of mixing her blood with the pre-school going child’s food. She was sentenced to 12 months in prison for willful transmission of HIV. Two months were suspended on condition the accused does not commit a similar offense in the next three years.
She asked the maid where the blood came from but the maid said she didn’t know. The mother took the porridge, the victim and the accused to Gutu Rural Hospital in Zimbabwe, where it was confirmed that the blood belonged to Pelagia and that she was HIV positive!
