A Marange man killed
his wife in cold blood after catching her pants down having quality time with
another man in the bushes last Tuesday.
Manicaland police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa
Kakohwa confirmed the death of Rosemary Muchangidze (37) of Marahwa village,
Chief Marange who was fatally assaulted by husband Oliver Mutafi (35) all over
her body until she died.
Circumstances were
that on May 7 at around 7 pm Muchangidze misled their children into
believing that they were retiring to bed in separate rooms of the same house
and sneaked out of the house to meet her lover at a bushy area about 50 metres
from her home.
On the same day at around 10 pm Mutafi arrived home and saw
Muchangidze with Novel Chada, a diamond dealer in the bushy area. Mutafi
severely assaulted his wife several times all over her body with a hard object
causing serious injuries while Chada ran away.
Muchangidze screamed for help alerting neighbours, who
rushed to the scene to investigate. Upon their arrival, they saw Mutafi
assaulting Muchangidza.
Muchangidze had been seriously injured and was bleeding
from the forehead. Mutafi stopped assaulting her and ordered her to tell those
gathered the reason why he was assaulting her.
She stated that her husband found her with Chada her
boyfriend. “As Mutafi started moving away, his wife stated that she
had been badly injured and Mutafi replied saying that is what a prostitute
deserves. Mutafi then went to his home where he broke into the house and took
his wife’s money and went away,’’ said Insp Kakohwa.
On the same night Mutafi took his Nissan Caravan with
vehicle registration number ADJ7939 from the driver Admire Mutsago who resides
in the same village but left it about 500 metres from Mutsago’s home after it
got stuck in the sand along the Mutsago-Chiadzwa road.
Neighbours noted that Muchangidze was showing no sign of
life and alerted other villagers who rushed to Marange Police station where a
report was made.
“Muchangidze sustained a cut on the chin, bruised and blood
stained face, swollen left eye, bruises on the left hand, swollen left palm
bruises on the left fingers, bruises on both breasts, at the back, on both
thighs and buttocks and she had three deep cuts on the neck.
“Mutafi is still at large and investigations are in
progress.
“Mutafi was no longer regularly visiting her wife at their
home as he sometimes slept at his shop as the couple was having marital
problems. The couple was customarily married and had two children. Sometime in
November last year, they had a domestic dispute resulting in the claiming of
RTGS$200 per month as maintenance for the two minor children. Muchangidze further
filed an application to share their matrimonial property at Mutare Civil Court
in February 2019 and the case is still pending,” said Insp Kakohwa. Manica Post
