MYSTERY surrounds the death of the husband of a celebrity make-up artist in Harare on Saturday which has sparked debate on social media.
Tawanda Gregory Bobo’s body was found dangling from a guava
tree at his Greendale house on Saturday.
The body had two neck-ties and a pair of trousers, soiled
with faeces, was found near a garbage pit in the backyard.
He was 41.
Tawanda’s wife, Deliwe Mutandiro (30), a celebrity make-up
artist, is said to have left the house to attend to a wedding client in Ruwa
around 3am, and was informed about the death by her maid who discovered
Tawanda’s body dangling from a 1.5m guava tree.
Deliwe, together with her sister, Debra Mutandiro (38) have
been arrested.
Harare Provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Julius
Chakanza, confirmed the case, saying police were suspecting foul play.
“Police are suspecting foul play in the death of a Greendale
man who was found tied to a guava tree on Saturday,” said Insp Chakanza.
“Foul play is suspected and the deceased’s wife and her
sister have been picked for questioning and are leading police with
investigations.
“Circumstances were that on 25 June, 2022, at around 0100
hours, the deceased, his wife and his wife’s sister, arrived home from work.
“The now deceased and his wife proceeded to their bedroom.
“After a few minutes, the two were heard arguing over an
undisclosed matter, by their maid.
“The maid intervened and the deceased was reported to have
gone out of the house to feed his dogs.
“At around 0300 hours, Deliwe and her sister left the house
to attend to a client, who was having a wedding in Ruwa.
“At around 0630 hours, a co-tenant saw the lifeless body
hanging from a guava tree in the yard.
“She alerted the maid who in turn advised Deliwe of the
development.
“The deceased’s mouth was swollen, one of his trousers was
found in the bedroom with blood stains and another (pair of) trousers stained
with poop was found in the yard near a garbage pit.
“A kitchen knife was also found near the garbage pit, the
maid last saw the deceased wearing the trousers found near the garbage pit,”
said Insp Chakanza.
Speaking to H-Metro yesterday, one of Deliwe’s co-tenants,
said the whole incident was still sending shock waves among them.
“This is really hard to accept, we are still very
traumatised,” she said.
“The first person who saw the body was my little sister and
after that encounter she could not attend class and even up to now she is still
traumatised.
“We also found Tawanda’s clothes at a dumpsite in the yard
and there was also a knife there.
“This honestly doesn’t seem like a suicide because even if
you check the tree where he was found hanging from, it doesn’t make sense,”
said the tenant.
Reports say Deliwe’s misunderstanding with Tawanda emanated
from a party, where the former was found dancing seductively.
Deliwe and Debra are expected to appear in court today. H Metro
