The village of Manzungu in Chief Mukanganwi area, Bikita, was left in shock after a 42-year-old man killed his 62-year-old mother with an axe on May 28.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the murder of Mavis Dinha by her son Wonderful Vurande and urged members of the public to prioritize mental health care.
“I confirm the murder of Dinha on May 28 by and I urge members of the community with relatives who have mental challenges to ensure they receive medical attention,” said Inspector Dhewa.
Vurande had returned from South Africa on May 26, exhibiting signs of mental instability that went unaddressed and his behavior became increasingly erratic, with bizarre questions and aggression within the two days he was home.
The incident happened after Vurande had returned from Nyika Growth Point where he had gone with his stepfather but returned alone in the afternoon.
Vurande asked disturbing questions, including who had impregnated his sister two years ago and the answer he got did not satisfy him.
He then turned violent, destroying household items with an axe, chased his mother for about 2 km before killing her, leaving her with deep cuts on the head, back, and leg.
The matter was reported to the police and Vurande was arrested. The deceased’s body was taken to Silveira Mission Hospital for postmortem.
