A woman believed to be a sex worker allegedly murdered her husband before fleeing the scene.
Yolanda Chimbwanda (28)’s whereabouts are currently unknown
after the incident which took place in Dombo raMwari, Epworth, on November 29.
Chimbwanda is believed to have had a dispute with her
husband, the now deceased Wiseman Kwashira.
According to a police report, the couple’s neighbour Jesca
Totamirepi reported the matter to Epworth Police following Kwashira’s death on
November 30.
Totamirepi claimed she intercepted the domestic dispute
between the two when Chimbwanda rushed out of their room holding a blood
stained knife.
She said the two chased each other around the compound
before Kwashira who was bleeding from his abdomen dropped unconscious about 30
meters away from their house.
The police report also alleges that Chimbwanda continued
running and her whereabouts are unknown to date.
Kwashira was then rushed to Sally Mugabe Hospital before
losing his life the following day.
Troubled by the gruesome act, Totamirepi reported the
matter to police.
“On November, 30, 2021 at around 1400 hours, the informant
came to station reporting that Wiseman Kwashira had passed on at Sally Mugabe
Hospital.
“The scene was attended and the accused person was not
located. Her whereabouts are not known whilst the knife which was used by the
accused was not recovered,” reads a police memo.
The deceased’s body is being kept at Sally Mugabe Hospital
awaiting postmortem and identification by a next of kin.
According to the couple’s landlady, mbuya Murakaraka, the
two started staying at her house two months ago.
“I was still learning about the couple and barely knew what
kind of people they were since they were only here for the past two months.
“I was surprised to see the husband lying on the ground the
day he was stabbed and he told me that his wife had done the unspeakable to
him,” said Mbuya Murakaraka.
She said she would sometimes hear the couple argue and
insult each other; that they had only met at a bar and theirs was an extended
one-night stand.
The room which the couple occupied remains abandoned with
no sign of life or visits from friends or relatives.
“Chimbwanda told me she was from Murewa and her husband was
from Mhondoro, none of their relatives has shown up since the incident and we
are all worried how the next of kin will be notified,” she said. H Metro
