Morgan Maocha (40), who proposed love to Elson Maocha’s
wife, Fungai Virimai was assaulted with a switch by the latter before he was
found dead minutes later after the incident.
Morgan who failed to accept that his brother’s wife,
Virimai had turned down his proposal proceeded to his brother, Elson’s
homestead where they had a heated exchange.
Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Nobert
Muzondo, confirmed the incident which happened in Mount Zonwe in Chief
Marange’s area.
“Morgan met Virimai and proposed love to her. She turned
down the proposal and rushed back home and told Elson what had transpired.
Morgan who could not fathom Virimai’s decision to turn down his proposal
followed her. He went berserk and kicked the door demanding to see Virimai.
This infuriated Elson who quizzed him about his wayward behaviour.
“The two started fighting. Elson picked up a switch and
assaulted Morgan all over the body. Elson chased Morgan away from his
homestead. Morgan who had a bicycle left,” said Inspector Muzondo.
A passer-by later saw Morgan’s body lying in a valley a few
hours after the incident.
His bicycle was by the roadside.
Police attended the scene and conveyed the body to Victoria
Chitepo Provincial Hospital.
Elson was arrested and is assisting police with
investigations.
Post-mortem results showed that Morgan sustained a swollen
left hand, deep cut and bruises near his right ear and swollen buttocks.
“We are appealing to members of the public to solve
disputes amicably through seeking counselling and intervention from elders and
third parties than resorting to violence,” added Inspector Muzondo. Manica Post
