mattress salvaged from the fire |
Lorraine Buwerimwe lost a double bed, blankets, duvets and
other valuable items after Linda Mashingaidze allegedly went berserk and set
her wooden cabin on fire following the alleged theft of underwear on Tuesday.
The incident occurred at No. 19A and 19B, OTS in Sakubva. “Fortunately,
we quickly put out the fire. The whole cabin could have been reduced to ashes,”
said a neighbour, Polite Mupedzi.
When The Weekender caught up with the two women at the
police station, Buwerimwe said there was bad blood between them.
“It all started when she accused me of stealing her pair of
skin tights. She claimed that I had stolen them yet I had not, and I wondered
why she kept accusing me. The misunderstanding got worse until I sought a protection order against her.
“Last month, she assaulted me and rushed to the police to
report the matter. My life has been a living hell because of this woman. I do
not know what wrong I did to her to warrant this sort of treatment. She
always threatens to burn me alive and
now she has burnt my house,” said Buwerimwe.
Mashingaidze denied ever burning the house saying instead
it was she who had alerted neighbours to
the fire. Manica Post
