A LOVE triangle ended tragically when an 18-year-old woman
from Harare committed suicide by downing poison after her sister discovered
that she was bedding her husband under her nose.
The tragic incident occurred last week when the teenager,
Farai Chirara from Ushewekunze area in the outskirts of Harare, ran away from
home before committing suicide by drinking poison after receiving death threats
from her sister, Memory Mojoko, accusing her of bedding her husband Obvious
Mudemba.
The deceased teen, had been staying with the couple, who
are both teachers, while waiting for her A’ Level results when her sister
started suspecting an affair between the former and her husband resulting in
her running away from home.
A relative who spoke on condition of anonymity said when
Farai ran away from home Mujoko started sending her messages insulting her with
vulgarities and threatening her with unspecified action accusing her of
wrecking her marriage.
The relative said Farai went on to drink poison and was rushed
to Parirenyatwa hospital by other relatives where she died just after
admission.
“It is sad that Memory pushed her sister to committing
suicide after sending her messages insulting and threatening her. Farai went to
stay with the couple while waiting for her A’ Level results. During the long
holiday, it is suspected that she started bedding Mudemba who is her sister’s
husband.
“When Mujoko got wind of the illicit affair she started
insulting and threatening Farai with unspecified action. Farai fled home and
found sanctuary at a relative’s place where she later committed suicide by
drinking poison.
“She died on Friday (last week) morning at Parirenyatwa
Group of Hospitals,” said the relative.
The relative added that Farai’s relatives are baying for Mudemba’s
blood accusing her of causing their daughter’s death.
“When Mudemba went to Parirenyatwa to check on Farai, he
was threatened by the girl’s relatives and they chased him away. What is
worrying is that the couple should have resolved the matter amicably because
Mudemba might have taken advantage of the girl considering that she was an
adolescent,” said the relative.
Contacted for comment, Mudemba confirmed the incident but
could not give further details.
“Did you talk to Farai’s parents and hear what they have to
say about the issue. Please talk to them first and I will give you my side of
the story. Besides it is not me involved but my wife so talk to her also,” he
said.
Mujoko refused to entertain the media.
“Who is this? Please you are talking to the wrong person,”
she said before hanging up and subsequently switching off her mobile phone.
Farai’s parents could not be reached for comment.
