A man from Mhapa village under Chief Shindi in Chivi allegedly bludgeoned his wife to death after he reportedly found her in a compromising position with his younger brother on New Year’s Eve.
Simbarashe Chenjerai (40) is accused of killing his wife Gohlo Sikululekile on December 31, 2021 for bedding Wilson Chenjerai (21).
Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident and urged members of the public to avoid taking law into their own hands but try to find third parties to help resolve them amicably.
“We urge members of the public to avoid taking law into their own hands but should find a third party to help them solve the disputes,’’said Dhewa
Circumstances are that on December 31, 2021, Simbarashe and Wilson went for a beer drink at their brother inlaw Ekemu Shonhai’s (33) homestead.
After a few hours of drinking beer, Wilson sneaked without telling Simbarashe where he was heading to and went to his house.
Simbarashe became suspicious and followed only to find Wilson bedding his wife.
An irate Simbarashe started assaulting his wife all over the body with open hands, an axe and big pot until she became unconscious.
She sustained injuries on the back of the head and she lost her fore-finger in the process.
A report was made to police leading to the arrest of the accused on New Year day and he recovered all the weapons during the assault.
