A PROTRACTED domestic dispute between a Dangamvura couple
ended tragically after the wife hanged herself in their matrimonial bedroom
during the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Police confirmed the suicide and said
investigations were in progress.
Linda Maputso’s body was found dangling on the roof of
their House Number N332B, Area C after she hanged herself with a rope. She was
found by her teenage brother-in-law, Nomore Bvekerwa, whom she was left staying
with after her husband, Eldon Bvekerwa, reportedly deserted her. The
27-year-old woman is believed to have failed to endure the heat of their
domestic dispute which is said to have been sparked by “household budget” and
decided to commit suicide.
The Manica Post visited the place at around mid-morning on
Tuesday. Although it is believed that Linda did not leave behind a suicide
note, her brother-in-law told The Manica Post that the couple was having
endless fights over the use of money at the house. Neighbours, who claimed to
know the couple very well, said Bvekerwa abandoned his wife at the height of
the dispute. They also claimed that Bvekerwa had forcibly taken away their two
children.
The Manica Post failed to locate Bvekerwa as he was
reported not to be at home. A man who identified himself as Cosmas and elder
brother to Bvekerwa refused to give the former’s mobile number.
“I last saw him on Sunday. I do not have his number, maybe
you can go to Green Market where he works and try to locate him. I woke at
around 6am preparing to go to school when I discovered that my uniform was
missing from where it was supposed to be. I called my sister-in-law, but there
was no answer. I went to knock on the bedroom door, but there was no response.
I knocked for about six times, but there was no response. When I into the room
and I found her body dangling on the trusses,” he said.
Nomore added: “The two always quarreled over the use of
money. My brother was complaining that she was squandering money and at times
she would take money from home without his knowledge. That is where all the
problems started.”
Nomore confirmed that his brother had long abandoned his
family and would only return home to change clothes once in a space of about
eight days. Nomore also confirmed that the couple’s children were no longer
staying with their parents.
“It is true. He would only return to change clothes once
in, maybe, two weeks. He was no longer staying here. The children are staying
at our sister’s house,” he said. manica post
