Regina Khumbula (35) was allegedly killed by her husband,
Rameck Batirai (39) who reportedly wanted the wife’s body parts for ritual
purposes.
Batirai however, was sold out by their one-year-old son who
continued to cry uncontrolablly at the crime scene as he was in the process of
removing the body parts.
On Monday, relatives of the late Khumbula went to the
suspect’s parents’ homestead in Zaka where they dug a shallow grave at the
centre of the homestead and buried her.
A relative told The Herald they did not involve relatives
of the husband when they conducted the burial ceremony.
“They were just following proceedings with folded hands as
we conducted the burial ceremony. The centre of the homestead was the perfect
place we thought was suitable enough to send our message well to them that we
are still pained and in shock over the manner in which our daughter was killed
by her husband,” said the relative who requested not to be named.
In a video that has gone viral, the deceased Khumbula’s
relatives could be seen singing and dancing as they bade her farewell while
others were digging a grave at the centre of a homestead. Herald
