Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Kudakwashe Dhehwa confirmed the incident saying Leina Hundivenga (26) from
Joromiya village under Chief Shindi in Chivi was brought back to her parents’
home on February 20, 2021 by her husband Munyaradzi Tsikai due to prolonged
illness of severe headache.
On February 22, 2021 at around 1400 hours, Hundivenga was
breastfeeding her one-year-old son David Tsikai while chatting with her other
13-year-old child outside their kitchen. Hundivenga then took her one-year-old
baby with her inside the kitchen and locked the door.
The 13-year-old juvenile suddenly heard a strange noise of
something being crushed in the kitchen before seeing Tsikai lying in a pool of
blood.
The juvenile rushed to call Hundivenga’s mother Dorika
Chikwirira (61) who was washing the dishes outside and she hurriedly broke in
the house and took the baby who was motionless with no sign of life.
Hundivenga started running around the house in a disorderly
manner, showing signs of hallucinations. The neighbors were alerted about her
strange behavior and they caught and tied her up.
Chikwirira took the baby to Shindi Clinic at Neshuro where
he passed on at around 2200hours on the same day. A report was made at the Neshuro
Police Station and Hundivenga was arrested.
Dhehwa advised members of the public to take their mentally
challenged relatives to the hospitals and to make sure that they are closely
monitored to avoid putting others in danger. TellZimNews
