A 22-year-old Chiredzi man has been arrested for killing his 25-year-old girlfriend following a dispute over a reason yet to be established on January 25, 2022.
Obvious Toruvanda (22) who stayed in Payer Road, Tshovani with his girlfriend Paidamoyo Manyika (25) is alleged to have fatally attacked his girlfriend during the wee hours of January 25.
Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident and encouraged members of the public to solve their issues amicably.
“Members of the public should find amicable ways of solving their differences or seek third part intervention. Use of violence should be shunned,” said Dhewa.
The incident occurred on January 25 at around 0200 hours, when Manyika was overheard by neighbours arguing with her boyfriend Toruvanda.
At around 0300 hours Ruvarashe Jara (25) who lives at the same house arrived and saw blood drops, followed them and they led to Manyika’s room.
She found her unconscious and naked while lying in a pool of blood and reported to the victim’s sister Thokozile Manyika who lived nearby.
The two found out that Paidamoyo had a deep wound on the left thigh but she could not talk.
They took her to Chiredzi Hospital where she was pronounced dead. A report was made to Chiredzi police where they launched an investigation which led to the arrest of Toruvanda who is to appear in court soon.
