Police confirmed the incident which occurred in Gweru’s
Mkoba Village 14, on Saturday night.
The suspect, Stacy Thokozani Mkhandla was away for an

her husband had brought into their house a girlfriend.
Said a source close to the sad development that has left
the Mkoba community shell-shocked, “The woman, Thokozani Mkhandla left home at
around 7 pm on Saturday for a church prayer leaving her usband, Tafadzwa
Munyoro with their two minors home.”

The source said Tafadzwa then left the minors alone and
returned home around 10 pm the same night in the company of her girlfriend,
Brightness Nancy Phiri when a neighbour then reportedly informed the wife of
the development.
Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel
Mahoko confirmed the incident saying Thokozani Mkhandla unceremoniously
returned home and found the two lovebirds tangling on the couple’s matrimonial
bed.
“Mkhandla returned home the same Saturday night from a
church night prayer and found Phiri and her husband, Tafadzwa Emmanuel Munyoro
in the bedroom,” said Insp Mahoko.
He said Mkhandla took a kitchen knife and tried to stab her
husband’s girlfriend but he restrained her and took the knife outside the
bedroom.
“While Tafadzwa was out, Mkhandla took another knife in the
kitchen and stabbed Phiri several times in the body. Phiri managed to escape
out of the house naked and jumped out of the precast walls but soon collapsed
on the street and died,” said Insp Mahoko.
He said police attended the scene leading to the arrest of
Mkhlandla.
“Phiri’s body was taken to Gweru Provincial Hospital and
the suspect is now in police custody,” he said. Herald
