In an attempt to kill his uncles over a seemingly minor misunderstanding, a Gutu man had no better means than to use a poisonous cattle dipping chemical which he mixed with their food.
Tinotenda Mapfumo (18) of Mashingaidze village under Chief Gutu, was arrested recently on June 27 after serving his two uncles, Tawenderweyi Mashingaidze (83) and Tawanda Mashingaidze (50), who are father and son respectively, food laced with cattle dip chemical.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident and urged people to solve differences in peaceful ways without resorting to inhumane means.
“On June 27 ZRP police arrested Tinotenda Mapfumo (18) for attempted murder. We encourage people not to kill each other when there is a misunderstanding, but to settle their differences in amicable ways,” said Dhewa.
On the day in question Mapfumo who had some issues with Tawenderwei and Tawanda cooked sadza with meat and vegetables and gave the food to Tawanda at around 1900hrs.
Tawanda sensed smell of the tick dip chemical in the food and told Tawenderweyi who is his father that the food was not safe to eat.
Tawenderwi took the food and could not sense the smell before convincing Tawanda to eat after which they both started vomiting and complaining of stomach-aches.
Tinotenda later confessed that he had put tick dip chemical in the food because of their misunderstanding, and they reported him to the police leading to his arrest.
