Muchadei (42) allegedly sneaked out of bed, armed himself with an axe and
struck his wife, Prisca Mabuyazve (33) who was sleeping facing downwards
several times on the head and neck. Muchadei walked five kilometres from the
homestead and drank rat poison. Circumstances are that the couple was
cohabiting at John Dube’s homestead at Gadzai Village.
Muchadei was
allegedly accusing Mubayazve of infidelity and at one time he abandoned her and
moved in with his parents.
On the day in
question, Muchadei visited his estranged wife around 8pm and they retired to
bed around 10pm.
Muchadei woke
up around 2am, armed himself with an axe and struck his sleeping wife several
times on the head and neck. Mubayazve died on the spot.
Muchadei
covered the body with a blanket, left the axe on the scene, went into a bushy
area some five kilometres from the homestead and drank rat poison.
Mubayazve’s
body was discovered around 6am by Simbarashe Nemadire who was seeking to
collect a debt he was owed. Nemadire alerted neighbours and a Police report was
filed.
Muchadei was
found writhing in pain an hour later by Given Teketesa (13) who alerted Police
details. Muchadei was arrested and rushed to Birchenough Bridge Hospital where
he died. Masvingo Mirror
