A Plumtree woman has been charged with murder following the fatal assault of her three-year-old daughter. Simangele Ncube, 37, appeared in court and was remanded in custody. Prosecutor Sheila Nyathi stated that the accused first assaulted the child, Easy Mpande, with a plastic dish after the girl defecated on herself.
The prosecution further alleged that Ncube subsequently beat the child with an electric cable across her entire body. This second assault resulted in Mpande's immediate death. Neighbors later performed a citizen's arrest on Ncube and took her to a police station. The case was presented before Magistrate Joshua Nembaware.
