Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel
Mahoko said the incident occurred at Village 16 Rupemba Chief Mafala,
Zvishavane last Saturday.
“Circumstances are that on Saturday at about 5 pm the
suspect Senzakupi Nyoni (66) was at home with her daughter Svetukai Muruviri (
36) and two juvenile grandsons. One of the grandsons allegedly got into a
trance and indicated that his young brother Ropafadzo Tunhai (10) was being
haunted by evil spirits and needed cleansing in water,” said Insp Mahoko.
He said the accused granny then escorted the boy to Ngezi
River which is about 500 metres from the homestead for the cleansing where he
then drowned.
“Nyoni then brought back home a lifeless body and the
matter was reported to the village head.
“The Village head, Mr Moses Msipa reported to the police
who attended the scene leading to the arrest of the elderly woman.” Herald
