Ernest Musanza confronted his wife, Melody Musanza, 30, at
around midnight about a man he had spotted her with earlier in the day.
The two reportedly had a heated argument and Melody stabbed
Ernest with a knife.
Ernest grabbed the knife from her and repeatedly stabbed
her on the neck and chest resulting in her death.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore
Chakanza, said Ernest was battling for his life under police guard at
Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals.
“Police arrested a man reported to have stabbed his wife to
death following a domestic dispute,” said Insp Chakanza.
“On Friday afternoon, the accused person saw his wife
walking around Tafara township with a man he suspected to be her boyfriend.
“He never confronted them and decided to ask her later at
home. At around 11.30pm, the accused asked his wife what was going on between
her and the man he spotted her with in the afternoon.
“A misunderstanding then ensued and tempers flared at
around 1.30am resulting in the now deceased stabbing her husband in the rib
cage with an okapi knife.
“The husband stabbed his wife several times with the same
knife on the left side of her neck and in the chest,” said Insp Chakanza.
Melody managed to crawl out of the bedroom, leaving Ernest
lying on the bed bleeding profusely.
Their 18-year-old maid was awakened by the commotion and
saw Melody crawling out of the bedroom when she went to check.
The maid rushed to inform the neighbours, but when they
returned, they found Melody’s lifeless body on the bed side, suggesting that
she had crawled back into the bedroom. H Metro
