A married woman and her married lover have killed their
baby to conceal their affair.
Majika Zamukudzi (21) and Edison Ndangana (24) strangled
the baby and buried the body in a garden situated on the banks of Musirizwi
River in Chipinge.
The Manica Post reports that Zamukuzi’s husband works in South Africa. Edson is her husband's nephew. The murder was
revealed when Edison’s wife visited Zamukuzi.
“I entered the room and saw traces of blood. Zamukudzi told
me that she had a miscarriage but I smelt a rat. There was no remains of a
foetus anywhere,” she said.
The neighbour then rushed to inform close relatives. The
police were later called to investigate.
After heavy interrogation, the suspects confessed to
committing the crime. They led detectives to the garden and dug up the
decomposing remains of the infant.
The remains were then taken to Chipinge District Hospital
for post mortem.
“My husband last came here in January and he did not
realise that I was pregnant with Edison’s baby. I slept with my husband before
he left but I knew he would never believe that the baby was his.
“Edison and I decided to kill the baby and conceal the
evidence before he could find out since he is currently in South Africa,” said
Zamukudzi.
The two were arrested and taken to Chipinge Police Station
where they are awaiting trial at the courts.
