Bvunyenge advised that the baby needed to have her tongue
cut to separate it from the lower part of the mouth, and in the process she cut
her left chick with a razor blade leading to excessive bleeding.
Masvingo Province ZRP spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe
Dhewa confirmed the sad news to The Midweek Watch.
The accused performed the medical process using a razor
blade and mistakenly cut the left side of the baby’s chick, leading to severe
chick bleeding afterwards.
The mother went back home in Duma location at Nyika Growth
Point with her daughter, but the bleeding did not stop and she went back to the
prophet on the same day.
The prophet tried to put some black jack leaves in order to
stop the bleeding and urged the mother not to use methylated spirit at home.
At around 8pm as the situation became worse she took her
baby to Silveira Mission Hospital where she was admitted, unfortunately she
died on the same night at the hospital.
The Police were informed about the incident.
Inspector Dhewa urged members of the public to avoid
tampering with issues that they are not familiar with especially medical
matters which must be left to professionals in order to avoid unnecessary loss
of innocent lives. Midweek Watch
