A GWERU woman has been arrested for fatally stabbing her husband following a misunderstanding over a love text message that she had received from her suspected boyfriend.
It is alleged that Malcom Maliko (33) of Ascot suburb in
Gweru came across a love message on his wife Ruvimbo Chamunorwa’s phone on
Friday, and a dispute arose.
Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel
Mahoko yesterday confirmed the murder saying Chamunorwa, who was on the run,
was nabbed by police on Monday in Zvishavane.
“Zimbabwe Republic Police is investigating a case of murder
in which a 33-year-old man died after sustaining a deep cut on his ribs
following a misunderstanding with his wife,” Mahoko said.
“It is alleged that Maliko was warming himself at a
fireplace outside the house in the company of one Arthur Kurai when he (Maliko)
saw a message on his wife’s phone purported to be from her boyfriend.”
According to Mahoko, Maliko exchanged harsh words with his
wife’s alleged lover over the phone before confronting her over the message.
He said a dispute arose between the couple and at around
1030 hours a co-tenant went to report the domestic squabble at Mtapa Police
Station. Newsday
