Another horrific day of domestic violence. In Beitbridge, a thirty-five-year-old woman named Faith Dube has been arrested for murder. The police say she killed her father-in-law in Tshishala Village. The alleged motive was an ongoing conflict over his constant drinking, which she blamed for damaging her marriage. A detective inspector with the CID confirmed Dube will be in court.
In a separate and equally grim case down in Gweru, a twenty-six-year-old woman named Patience Madula is dead. Police say her husband, a thirty-one-year-old man named Brighton Kahlanga, attacked her in their home in Chinyama Village over accusations she was unfaithful. The attack happened late at night, with the man's own mother present in the house. She reportedly fled in fear. During the assault, Kahlanga supposedly called his brother-in-law, threatening to kill his wife and then himself. By the time the relative arrived, Madula was unconscious with severe cuts, lying in her own blood. Her husband had already run from the scene. Police in the Midlands region are investigating.
