Midlands Provincial Police Spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel
Mahoko confirmed the incident and said police were appealing for information
that could help to arrest the suspect.
“We confirm the death of a five-month-old baby in Mberengwa
and the suspect is yet to be apprehended. We are appealing for information that
may lead to his arrest,” said Mahoko.
The parents, who are Faith Mpofu and Erinando Makena both
from Musvupi Village, Chief Mataruse Mberengwa had a long-standing dispute
regarding the paternity of the baby as the father alleged that his wife was
impregnated by someone else before their marriage.
It is alleged that on the fateful day, while her husband
was away, Mpofu packed her belongings and left for her parents’ house.
Mpofu failed to get transport to Zvishavane and sought
refuge at Mudzimu homestead near Bedford Business Centre, Mberengwa.
Upon his return home, Erinando instituted his own
investigations on Mpofu’s whereabouts and made a follow-up to Mudzimu’s
homestead.
Mpofu had the now deceased, Annita Makena strapped on her
back Erinando arrived and assaulted her with a switch and struck the now
deceased in the process leading to her death. TellZimNews
