Tinos Zvavanhu Mposhi, who was arrested in the early hours
of Friday after handing himself to the police, was not asked to plead when he
appeared before Harare magistrate, Yeukai Dzuda, who remanded him in custody.
The court heard that Mposhi, who is a suspected mental
patient, struck his late wife, Rosemary Mposhi, with an iron bar, after an
argument.
Mposhi then handed himself to the police.
His wife’s body was found lying in a pool of blood when the
police attended the scene.
Before the case went to court, H-Metro gathered that Mposhi
suspected his wife of having an affair.
Police national spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi, confirmed the homicide case, which has left Warren Park residents
shell-shocked.
“On Thursday night, around 23:40 hours, a man Tinosi
Zvavanhu murdered his wife by striking her with an iron bar several times on
the head in Warren Park.
“The motive was that he was suspecting his wife was having
an extra-marital affair.
“The relatives claimed that their father has in a mental
disorder condition, which he has been battling for 20 years.
“We urge people to resolve conflicts amicably and to
respect the sanctity of life,” added Ass Comm Nyathi. H Metro
