A 32-year-old woman in Mwenezi killed her husband and their three-year-old daughter following a furious row. She later hanged herself.
Cops said Florence Nhotito struck and killed her husband,
Simbarashe Butete and their daughter.
“On 2 January at around 7am Butete had a misunderstanding
with his wife Nhotito who was accusing him of not taking care of his family.
This was happening in the presence of their eight-year-old son who Nhotito
later sent to her mother in-law Jerida Zvakare (65) to fetch firewood. While he
was still there, it is suspected that the argument got heated and out of rage,
Nhotito struck her husband who was in the bedroom with an axe in the head leaving
it stuck and proceeded to take another axe and did the same to her
three-year-old daughter who was on the sofa,” said Masvingo provincial police
spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa.
