TWO bodies have been recovered at a farm owned by
Vice-President Kembo Mohadi in Beitbridge.
Police have told The Standard that the bodies were of lovers that were
involved in a love triangle. Alick Macheso was scheduled to perform in Beitbridge and one of the love birds planned to attend.
“Her live-in-lover,
who was a guard at Mohadi’s farm, intercepted messages about the proposed trip
and kept quiet. When the woman requested money ostensibly to go and order
trinkets from Musina in South Africa, he asked her to join him in their room
where he locked the door and killed her before shooting himself.”
Police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi
confirmed the incident, saying it was part of a worrying trend of people dying
in crimes of passion.
“We have previously issued a statement on those deaths,” he
said. “In Beitbridge [at Mohadi’s farm] it was a tragic end of a love triangle
dispute. In the last eight days there were several deaths, including two men
who fatally clashed over a woman in Manicaland.”
Nyathi said the alleged murderer was arrested when he
returned to roast maize at the murder scene the following day and found
detectives waiting.
