The diasporan charged with killing her husband is challenging her placement on remand.

Bridget Makaza (34) says there is evidence that she did not commit the crime. Bridget allegedly shot her husband with a revolver following a long-standing marital dispute over the husband’s decision to marry another woman.

Makaza appeared before magistrate Ms Victoria Mashamba charged with murder. The court heard that on May 14 at about 3am, the deceased and Makaza were asleep in their house. Makaza allegedly took a revolver from the headboard drawer and shot her husband three times on the neck and shoulder area.

She allegedly screamed and feigned an armed robbery to cover up her act. She then disposed of the firearm and claimed that her husband had been shot by robbers. The gun she used was retrieved by cops along Mukuvisi River.
