A 33-YEAR-OLD Murewa man, Japhet Shamba, who is an uncle of confessed ritual murderer Tafadzwa Shamba who was nabbed for allegedly killing seven-year-old Tapiwa Makore, committed suicide yesterday morning.
The deceased’s body was found hanging on a tree a few
metres from his homestead in Chinyani village under Chief Mangwende. According
to police sources, the late Shamba went missing from the homestead since last
Thursday.
The deceased is said to have left a suicidal note stating
that he regretted exhausting all the maize and peanut seeds from his
grandmother’s granary. He used to stay with his mother and wife at the same
homestead.
The death of Shamba left villagers in Murewa concluding
that the late Tapiwa’s spirit was now avenging after Tafadzwa confessed to the
gruesome murder of the boy.
Tapiwa is yet to be buried as his head and hands are still
missing. Newsday
