The tranquil setting of Gweru’s Mkoba Village in Zimbabwe was shattered by a tragic incident on Saturday night, February 10, as a 34-year-old woman was arrested for the fatal stabbing of her husband’s girlfriend.
The shocking event has sent shockwaves through the local community, leaving residents reeling from the unexpected violence.
The suspect, identified as Stacy Thokozani Mkhandla, was attending an all-night church prayer when she received a distressing tip-off from concerned neighbors. Rushing back home, Mkhandla discovered her worst fears realized as she found her husband, Tafadzwa Munyoro, in a compromising situation with another woman, Brightness Nancy Phiri, on the couple’s matrimonial bed.
According to Midlands Provincial Police Spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko, Mkhandla confronted the illicit pair and attempted to intervene. However, her efforts were met with resistance, prompting a desperate struggle.
