Mwenezi – The community of Kutanga village under Chief Chitanga is grappling with the gruesome murder that occurred last Friday where a woman in her 30s was found in a pool of blood with her head completely dismembered from the torso.
Ratidzo Muchipe who was allegedly murdered on the night of February 11, residing with her two minor children was found dead inside her bedroom.
Although no immediate comment could be obtained from the police, the area’s traditional leader, Chief Chitanga born Feleni Chauke confirmed the tragedy saying the matter is still under police investigation.
The traditional leader said though the deceased was sleeping together with her minor children on the fateful day, they fail to identify the murderer and also could not clearly relate what really transpired as the murder occurred while they were asleep.
“The woman was found dead inside her bedroom with her head cut off and completely separated from the head.
“It’s not clear who exactly murdered her, but there is a suspect whom she is related to who dissapeared and detectives are investigating the matter,” said Chief Chitanga.
Sources close to the incident told TellZim News that the suspect whose father is an elder brother to the husband of the deceased had been proposing love to the deceased.
“The deceased’s husband works in South Africa, so it is an open secret that the suspect had for long been proposing love to the her but had been turned down several times hence the murder could be related to that,” said the source.
