A Mwenezi man fatally assaulted his brother during a fight where the now deceased accused the former of bewitching his wife during a traditional beer binge.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident to TellZim News, in which Nobert Upenyu (29) slammed his brother Alouis Upenyu (43) on the ground during a fight where Alouis had accused Nobert of bewithching his wife on March 8, in Chigara Village, Chief Neshuro in Mwenezi, urging members of the public to solve issues when they are in a sober state.
“I confirm the incident whereby Nobert murdered his brother Alouis after a misunderstanding in which Alouis accused Nobert of bewitching his wife.
“I urge members of the public not to solve issues when they are drunk and they should not use violence in the process of solving a misunderstanding. Such disputes should be solved verbally and in a peaceful way,” said Inspector Dhewa.
On March 8, 2025 around 2000 hours Nobert was drinking marula brew (mukumbi) together with Alouis at their Uncle Ishmael Zindo’s homestead. A misunderstanding arose after Alouis pointed at Nobert saying he was bewitching his wife.
Alouis tried to assault Nobert with a stick but the latter evaded it. Nobert then lifted Alouis, slammed him on the ground and he fell unconscious and woke up after an hour and went to his place.
On March 10 Alouis started complaining of chest pains and had difficulties in breathing. He was taken to Chimbudzi clinic where he was attended to.
On March 11, his condition deteriorated and he died. A report was made to the police leading to the arrest of Nobert.
