On the same day at around 10 pm Mutafi arrived home and saw his wife with her boyfriend, Novel Chada, a diamond dealer in the bushy area. Mutafi severely assaulted his wife several times all over her body with a hard object causing serious injuries while Chada ran away.

Muchangidze screamed for help alerting neighbours, who rushed to the scene to investigate. Upon their arrival, they saw Mutafi assaulting Muchangidza.

Muchangidze had been seriously injured and was bleeding from the forehead.

Mutafi stopped assaulting her and ordered her to tell those gathered the reason why he was assaulting her.

She stated that her husband found her with Chada her boyfriend.

“As Mutafi started moving away, his wife stated that she had been badly injured and Mutafi replied saying that is what a prostitute deserves. Mutafi then went to his home where he broke into the house and took his wife’s money and went away,’’ said Insp Kakohwa.

She died minutes later before neighbours could take her to hospital.

Mutafi is still at large and investigations are in progress.
