A dead man claims his daughter-in-law killed him with poisoned sugar nearly 30 years ago. The shocking accusation came during a court session at Chief Mutasa's community court. Peter Masvaure brought his in-laws, the Makoni family, to court after they blamed his sister Lucia for killing her father-in-law Erick Makoni. The family says Lucia returned home upset because her in-laws accused her of murder. Monica Makoni, Lucia's sister-in-law, began having spiritual episodes where she claimed Lucia killed their father.
Peter told the court that Monica said the dead father's spirit possessed her and wanted justice. The spirit accused Lucia of putting poisoned sugar into his illegal alcohol drink. Peter asked the spirit to appear through someone from his family for fairness, but this never happened. The case went to Headman Sanyamandwe, where Monica appeared possessed again. Peter challenged the spirit to move to his daughter, but it could not do this.
Lucia's sister Edna said their family suffered shame and harassment for years. She argued that Lucia was treated like a criminal without proof. The supposed spirit of Erick insisted that Lucia poisoned him with sugar. The spirit claimed Lucia gave him sugar for his homemade alcohol in 1995, which caused severe stomach pain and death. Chief Mutasa warned about the dangers of the illegal drink and questioned whether the alcohol itself caused the death.
