A woman is suspected to have been murdered by her husband after being accused of stealing US$250.00 from him.
The dead body was discovered by her step daughter, aged 14, who was on her way to school on 1 December 2023 at a homestead in Village 8 Dlemiti, Ward 16 under Chief Nhema in Shurugwi.
It is said that the 14 year old juvenile who stays with her grandmother, was on her way to school when she passed through her father’s homestead, she found the round heart bedroom closed and on opening it, the juvenile discovered her stepmother Runyararo Midzi, lying on the floor dead, with her hands and legs tied to the bed with a rope and her father was away.
The juvenile advised the neighbours who came to see the scene before reporting the matter to the police at ZRP Tongogara.
Zimbabwe republic police discovered a deep cut on the stomach and a note believed to have been written by the now deceased’s husband was found near the body indicating that he murdered her because she had stolen his money.
ZRP investigations led to the arrest of the suspect Lonyaka Mulambi, aged 43, on 2 December 2023 at around 1800 hours while in the vicinity of his homestead, after he was found sleeping in the bush.
