Christopher Taruona of Concopia Farm, popularly known as Dereki on the outskirts of Rusape, allegedly killed his wife(Patience Mlambo) after brutally assaulting her all over the body accusing her of having affairs with several men at the farm.

Reporters were told that Taruona was of a violent nature, while Mlambo was said to be of loose morals as she was in the habit of bedding numerous men. They claimed that two days before her murder she was caught red-handed being intimate with a fellow workmate in a maize field.

On March 15, Gracious Nyambi visited Taruona’s homestead around 8am only to find Patience dead. Her body was lying on the table.
