She poisoned her for delays in paying her wages.
Nyaradzo Gosha pleaded guilty when she appeared before
Harare magistrate Letwin Rwodzi, who remanded her in custody to today, for
sentencing.
The court heard that on April 28, Gosha confided in their
neighbour, Thandiwe Mandibaya, at Glen Norah Police Camp, and told her that she
was not in good books with her employer, Konai Muzhangiri, a police officer.
She told Thandiwe that Konai had delayed paying her wages,
and was also denying her food.
Thandiwe then advised Gosha to poison Konai.
Gosha pleaded guilty to lacing various foodstuffs,
including juice, yeast, oats, spices and fenugreek seeds with rat poison in an
attempt to kill Konai and her five-year-old child.
Konai returned home and smelt the rat poison when she took
the juice, and immediately suspected Gosha of lacing it.
She took the juice to the police and reported the matter. When
Gosha was interrogated, she confessed to lacing the juice with rat poison at
the advice of Thandiwe.
The State submitted a report from a food scientist which
confirmed that the juice and other foodstuffs had been laced with rat poison.
Asked by the court what she was going to do if Konai and
her son had died, Gosha said it wasn’t her intention to kill them. H Metro
